[quote="Univoxer"]Well, Johnny DID play a modified UNIVOX!

This still cracks me up. The Univox company had just slowed their amp manufacturing down and began making the famous lawsuit era guitar in the mid seventies. The guitar the Johhny plays was built by Mosrite between 1964-65. If you have any documentation to back up your claims that he ever even held a Univox I'll keep my fingers idle about this topic.

Good onya KRamone 27. I'd like to see this claim backed up too.
Bet it never happens.

yeah, Johnny played a few guitars that did not bare the mosrite name, i.e. fender, rickenbacker, hamer, but never did he play a univox. in fact johnny ramone is arguable as important to the mosrite name and legacy as Nokie Edwards or Joe Maphis.

[oipunkguy]

by the way mosman, good tunes that you set me. I hear the adolescents influence. awesome!

Somebody (...) on this forum recently retorted that sometimes "old age can get in the way..." (or something to that effect)

Ha, I'm 64 and have never heard music of the Ramones as far as I know, but I'm already starting to like them!!!

Maybe got Johnny mixed up with Kurt Cobain??

Hey i think the Ramones added something to the Mosrite mystic but thats about it. (I think Johnny said he bought his because 1. cheap 2. "ugly" ). Considering most of the Mosrites ever made where made bought and sold before the Ramones even started!! I would say that the Ventures are far more important to Mosrite. After the Ramones where playing them Mosrite couldn't
say afloat that was not a problem in the halcyon Ventures endorsement days. but i will say that The Ramones helped make Mosrite cool and cutting edge and it is ironic that a guitar made for virtuosos was played by "punk" band.

nope dennis. johnny had several different guitars that he used as backups during live shows, all of which I mentioned. in the early 80's johnny was even endorsed by hamer and had a hamer signature guitar. to find one of these guitar will be REALLY hard to find.
he used it on the sha na na show one time i think, and the psycho therapy music video for sure.
