Hey Paul, so what would we call that, a Mose-ha or a Yam-rite?.....

make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

Re: Mosrite - Yamaha marriage?
Is this really a Yamaha? It almost looks like a cross between a Mosrite and a Ibanez Iceman. Nice you see an enthusiastic young lady playing it!
Party on!

Interesting note: SG2 and SG3 Yamahas from the 60's had a zero fret and the serial number stamped at the bottom of the neck, just like Mosrites. That black SG1(?) looks killer!

Here's my Mosriha, Yama-Rite.... Ya-Mo-Ha. I just finished re-building this one - It started out as an easy project, and turned into a complete re-build/fretboard. The only thing Mosrite about it is the pickups from M3.

Sweet lookin' guitar sonichris. I recall seeing a similar model to yours, only difference
was it had the Jewel Knobs and the Moseley Vibrato system on it. I seemed to recall seeing
it in a late 80s-early 90s Japanese Guitar Magazine.....maybe equivalent to "Guitar Player"
or something along those lines.....
