Didn’t they also build a mosrite clone called the Avenger?

Yes. And a 12 string version. Love the lipstick pickups.

I’m not a fan of the red sunburst finish, but a semi-hollow body might be cool. My only real complaint about my Twin Tone is that it feels like it weighs 20 pounds. When I win the lottery, I’m going to have to buy a Tuxedo or an RS-II just because they’ll be significantly lighter. I like the body shape and the Rickenbacker knock-off f-hole on the Charvel, and, like Jim, the bridge is pretty cool-looking, too, though function trumps form as far as I’m concerned. Any bridge on a new electric guitar ought to be adjusto-matic in one form or another.

I remember almost buying one of these back in the early 90’s in Toronto, I see them from time to time on e-bay and almost bought a 12-string version a couple of years ago….but then I bought my Eastwood Classic 12 and have been happy with it ever since.

I love the bridge on the six-string. Was it proprietary, or are they still available new on the aftermarket?
