Quite a group

Cool stuff! I must have scrolled through those pics four or five times before I realized they're all set up left-handed! (Well, it's obvious on the Tokai Humming Bird, but the rest are all right-handed guitars set up lefty.) Nice pinstriping on the Dano Innuendos too. I've got an Innuendo baritone--for as inexpensive as those were, you don't see many Innuendos of any model.

Looking very nice, I'd love to try out a twelver. Last year I did bid on a 12 string Mosrite like yours and it didn't sell. My second thoughts though, nagged me about its practical usage in my hands

Thanks!! The blue Danelectro was my first Moseritish guitar. I snatched it up when i saw them come out. I didnt think i would ever find or be able to afford a real one.But its amazing what your capable of when you apply yourself. Im actually going to be selling the red 12 string soon if anyone is interested. Ill make them a great deal. Its a great player.

Just a few notes on these guitars: the two Univoxs were ebay finds, the black one I just cleaned up and refinished the neck, added new tuners. The natural finish was pretty much the way i bought it except the pickup rings were different colors. Luckily i had some from an old fake les paul that were exact.funny thing is that one of the previous owners was lefty so the strap button was already on the other side. I havent restrung it yet bc i have to machine some thickness off the bridge. It has been replaced, and the action is like .375 above the 22nd fret. Easy fix tho! The wilson bros is bone stock(i usually mod something!). The Tokai is the eastwood reissue. There was supposedly only like 6 leftys made.I replaced the pickup covers and rings with Mosrites, bc they were square and didnt even have rings. It didnt look right. The leftys all had stop bar bridges so I found the gold bigsby on ebay, and that is close enough to the original looking tremelo. This prompted me to start switching all of the hardware to gold. I still need a bridge and toggle. I plan on adding the little slide switches like the old ones. I was going to put the "hummingbird" decal on the body, but I found an awesome decal of an actual hummingbird dive bombing. Its a really striking image.Im going to put that on when I repaint it. I want it to be dark metallic blue like some of the originals Ive seen.im repainting it bc there are big holes in the body now from removing the stop bar bridge. And last, all ive done to the red twelve string is "destress" the paint job a little, and add a fender bass bridge cover. I know some people find these things aggrivating, but I like adding a flash of chrome to a guitar.

Nice, Nice!!! I really like that Tokai. It just looks wickedly awesome. Thanks for posting the eye-candy!

Beautiful specimens
