Hello all...

Just another aging guitar aficionado here. Recalling an original Mosrite I encountered many years ago (a "60 model" I think - which I couldn't afford then and still can't now), I've latently developed fairly serious GAS for something faithfully Mosrite-like. (My GAS is usually reserved for other, more high profile brand name guitars and things).
Hacked around in bands (none you ever would've heard of ) for 10 or 12 years, mostly on the East Coast - 5 or 6 punky/poppy rock outfits (originals and covers) and a couple of kinda lame but tons-o-fun old school country bands (mostly 50s/60s covers). The last proper band I was in goes back almost 15 years - which short circuited after about 6 months. Since then, despite trying, I haven't found my way into any regular jam or band situation - due largely to ambivalence. One thing I've never lost interest in is all things guitar. I still hack around at home, dinkering and tinkering with gear, as well as swapping/buying/selling (I'm sure some of you know the name of that tune
). While casually web surfing a few days ago, I was recalling that one old, wonderfully set-up and easy to play Mosrite I ran across years ago in a small shop. I clicked on one Mosey link, then another, then another - oh crap, here come da GAS 
. I've been through a parade full of gear. Guitar-wise my mainstays are Strats and Teles, usually with something Gibson-like on the side. That won't change. I'm pretty sure I'm a born-again Mosey fan, just arriving a little late to church.
I may have a line a good quality, older Japanese made copy. If that falls through, I'm leaning towards Hallmark (since the shared opinion here seems to be they make some of the most faithful repros).
Cheers,
LMF
