Figured we could try and keep these all to one thread. . . might be kind of cool, I'll start with Greg Brady.
Here's some more pictures of Greg Brady shredding on a green Mosrite:

Bobby gets his fingers caught in between the strings. . . I hate when that happens:

And the backside:

The episode aired on January 8th, 1971. I wonder if it being after The Ventures split has something to do with the logos being covered? Who knows.

Was flipping through the channels and the movie "Dahmer" (2002) was on:


I can't tell if it's an original or a copy, but was still odd to see it in this movie.

Always interesting to hear what other people sound like playing Mosrites. Listened to the clip on the "Space Agency" band page attached to the posted link. Sorta mellow surf. I have Nokie's overdriven Mosrite sound so ingrained that's its a surprise when I hear a Mosrite sounding differently. Nice looking Jaguar in that picture too. I remember seeing pictures of Carl Wilson looking around 14 or 15 years old playing one (the other surf guitar).

Logos are blurred out or covered up when on TV shows/commercials etc. I remember an ad about 10 years or so ago, forget what it was for, featured a 350 with covered up logo.
Watched part of King Creole last night, Elvis's Gibson had all logos/markings covered up.
