I thought I'd take a quick picture.

If I'm going to play video games, let me do something I can't do in real life... Like sitting in a bell tower shooting people between the eyes with my sniper rifle. That flat panel is great for that! I've been having fun with the Wii too. I love the Tiger Woods Golf game on the Wii. |

Damon, what did you decide to do with the Mosrite?
Seems like I remember you saying your luthier wanted to trade you for something. |

Location: Jet City | Colin,
It's at Hallmark Guitars in Greenbelt, MD being worked on. There was an offer, but shy of stupid silly amounts of cash being offered, I doubt I'd let it go anywhere.
It's a long process as Bob's only working on it part time. He's hand carved a new bridge and mute from aluminum, as we finally decided that the current bridge, though indeed a Mosrite, was refitted at a later date. It was modified to fit on the posts. I'm still keeping the roller bridge too, but it will be more true to original spec with the new bridge and mute. Bob fashioned the new pickup out of mahogany as well. Really he just needs to do some work on all three pickups, wire it all up again, and it'll be ready to go.
I'd say I should see it next month some time.
I keep telling myself that all good things come to those that wait. |

I spose if a slothead or a Preacher goes up for sale locally we all know where it'll end up.
Very nice indeed. |

Location: Gig Harbor, Washington | Yeah - I'm a sucker for the curves of a Preacher and the style of a SH - and I find I'm pretty weak to resist the allure of an O' archtop...
I am now adopting a Tornado to add to the herd (thus the what's next! in my sig' line!)... |

Beautiful slab of mahogany. That UKII just called to me though, so I only had it for a few months before it had to go.
Haven't played one for 25 years now. Miss it. Still have a Polaroid of it somewhere. |
