I believe that's a Balladere I. Did you happen to get the serial number?
Cheers,
Adam

Hey...Thanks for the response! No I forgot to get the serial.
Crazy eh...went from a Mosrite Balladere to an Ovation Balladeer.

That guitar looks great! I often wonder how an acoustic Mosrite sounds in real life.

HERE is Glen in 68 playing it...Any idea if it was a I or II? My uneducated guess would be a I based up on Gruhns description...

Wow, even Tommy Smothers playing a Mosrite acoustic? As I recall he played Guild guitars.

Excellent Glen Campell link, jkantor1312.
Adam - are these hard to find? The 401 model?

Wow! Great thread. I used to own one of these with "TS" inlaid on the neck just like Glen's "GC" and now I believe it's the very guitar Tommy Smothers is playing in that clip. Amazing!

I believe the Balladere I and Serenade have roughly the same body shape with different dimensions, while the Balladere II is a dreadnought style guitar.

I really dig that Balladere I.
It seems like you've owned all the cool Mosrites, Adam.
Where did it go?
