I like egg rolls, but the headstock shape looks familiar like maybe a Vintage or something similar. After all its not close enough to be an out right forgery Les Paul, but just another LP style with a nicely done maple top. So I wonder how it it plays or sounds.

OK, so I would ask does it stay in tune, how does the neck feel, is the fingerboard and frets smooth, does it sustain easily like the 2k or 3k LP its styled after?

Unless somebody can hold up an example of an odd one, I've never seen a genuine Gibson with anything but smooth stud tops. Oh, and the shape of the fingerboard inlays. There's that. 😗 Yep, and like someone said, there were several things. Does Japan build fakes? I know they have made fake Mosrite Venture guitars with Ventures on the headstock and tried to sell them here. I forgot the name of the guy who was doing it?

Japan is where the fakes started, some have been said to be higher quality than their US counterpart, specially during the 70/80's. But US patients and copyright got.them settled down, then other Asian companies started to crank it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I couldn't tell much difference between a US and Japan Mozrite guitar, Almost was tempted to get one as they were cheaper but I wanted the real Mcoy.

I only saw one that had all their signatures on it. It was a yellow, I thought about that one for a long time but Deb would shoot me if I payed out for that one. Best one I've seen. But then, do you actually play that one? I imagine they signed a few more for people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried out a Mosrite bass for a while that played really well, but turned out to be too neck heavy so I didn't keep it.

I think Mosrite's are introduced as Surf guitars, not sure exactly what that means as most surf players used Fenders. So if you got a Jag you probably got it covered. I haven't played any of the Asian built Mosrite's, but I would imagine any Japan built in the 90's would be pretty good. I don't know if there are still US versions being built.

I don't know if there are still US versions being built. Yes, their were so many surf songs with the Ventures and Beach Boys and so forth. My cousin taught me many Venture songs at 13 when I started. Some stayed over all the years I played them and I still do. The Mosrite was designed and built for the Ventures way back then they gave it up and went Fender. I loved that Twang the Mosrite made. I think the closest guitar I have to it is my Jaguar. I wasn't impressed with it though as the strings kept sliding off the neck doing all the string bends I did. The vibrato arm messed up the tuning a lot every time I used it 2 or 3 times a song. Finally I found a Mustang bridge and took the original one off that was junk. Much much better now. Yeah, I'd love a Mosrite but there really just too old and have so much you have to fix on them. Your'e lucky if you can find a good one with the original parts.
