Glad to be here. I am a musician from Philadelphia and love all kind of guitars. I am a member of both the TDPR and Gretsch Talk forums under the same handle. I hop to learn more about the legacy and history of Mosrite guitars from some of the experienced people here.

Well I play mostly rock but I also spent time in a 60's influenced garage band, country cover band, and an acoustic duo. Currently I am in 2 bands. The Absinthe Drinkers (check out our website and hear how we sound. Just so we a clear I am not the guitar player on the CD. I replaced him) is the original music band and the other is a roots/Americana band (still in search of a name) so I have most of my basics covered musically.

Greetings and welcome to the forum! You're among friends if you're a fan of Mosrite guitars. Looks like you have a Hallmark 60 Custom (like many of us, myself included) - what color and how do you like it?

Well here you go
Was going to get the Sunset Sparkle becuase of the green (I am in a band called The Absinthe Drinkers) so it would be a visual plus but alas they were out so I went with my back up, Pearl White. I still have my videotape of "Beloved Invaders" and the Ventures are decked out in matching white Mosrites so that is what I got. Great guitar, played great right out of the box. Did not have to do any adjustments or anything. I am going to re-string with 10-52 becuase I like the tone of heavy bottom strings.
And I am trying to master the live version of "Bulldog" from the "Live In Japan 1965" album where Nookie plays the solo from behind the bridge.
