This guitar is the best Mostite copy ever due to the fact that, unlike many others such as Eastwood, it has a 25″ scale length, small fretwires plus a zero fret (necessary to accomplish low action), a thin Basswood body, and a single coil pickup close to the bridge. NOTE: the electronics in this guitar suck- for the best Mosrite like sound, I highly recommed bypassing everything and rewiring the bridge pickup right to the jack. I only use the bridge pickup and speaking of which, I recently replaced the original pickup with an “RH-100” pickup from M3 California for like $130. WHOAH, it now sounds exactly I mean EXACTLY like a Mosrite Mark 1, wow! Only thing with that is if you do that you’ll have to have the pickguard routed out & made a little larger and the wood inside the guitar also routed. I tried doing this myself, what a mess- and that wood smells really bad.

I have one of these that I stupidly painted white. Was never a sunburst fan. I likely did a crap job, so the original might be under there somewhere…
The neck is very straight. I once took it out of the case after not playing it for years and it was sitll in tune. Had to replace the pick ups because all the originals did was feedback. I’d like to refurbish the one I have one day.

I’ve got one of these exact same guitars with the six-inline headstock. The only thing missing is the bridge cover plate. It needs a little TLC (the frets are REALLY low, and the vibrato tailpiece needs a new spring) but otherwise, the neck is dead-straight, and everything still works great.
