ID-help?

Postby Ankan666 » Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:48 am

Hi all. Any help in ID-ing this beauty would be highly appreciated. I´ve had it for ten years or so, it is handsigned by Semie on the back of the headstock. Everything seems to be original (as far as I can tell) But I can´t find any info on it? What do I have in my hands?

Thanx in advance
/Anders

Looks to be a V-88 from the late 80s ;) .
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

Thanx! But as it´s handsigned, Reads "Mosrite Forever, Semie Moseley 1984" Should be earlier 80´s?

Is it common? I´ve seen triple pickup versions of it, but never a two pup?
Also, it has a german carve, the v-88s I´ve seen are just rounded? And they usually have a pickguard?


Like I said, any info helps :-)

Not a V88, and yes, it's from 1984. It is essentially a two-pickup version of the American model. Does it have an AF or NC serial number? It also appears to be finished in the classic Primer Grey.

Cheers,
Adam

Thanx! The serial starts with an N. Is it a common model? I´ve only seen triple pickup versions of similar guitars, and not that many.
Is it simply called american?

Any help is highly appreciated. From what I´ve gathered here so far I have an American? from the early 80´s in Primer Grey? Anybody with more info?
