BOTH PICKUPS? The best sounding guitar I've ever heard!!! Sounds so acoustic!!!
The definition of cool
Man, you always find just the right tunes and riffs to demonstrate each guitar perfectly!
Much respect to you, it is always a treat to hear you play!
Your right hand is the stuff of myth and legend Lemmo, amazing coordination
Wow!! What a cool sound 🎸🎸
I met and played music with Semie Moseley in the late 80's at our church in Salem, Arkansas.
That is a real Time Machine, Very cool!
Love the surf sound!
OMG, love it. Just wish they hadn’t stripped it. Hopefully Norm does decide to refinish it in one of the colors Mosrite used to do. Wonderful guitar, wonderful playing.
If it was refinished in a Green, it would be inaccurate, but Mosrite did finish a few in Green. I've seen just a few Combo models in Green, but a few more Celebrity III models in Green.
Ahh the Ventures. First song I learned to play was Pipeline 😁 Sure’s hell doesn’t seem like yesterday 😂 Thanks for the flashback👍👍🙏
The Chantays
Beautifully played by Michael.
Duh!
Good Sound, I think it looks good. Great job Michael & Jen.
It looks cool just the way it is 🤘😎
Nothing wrong with that sound!
Oh man, I'm a sucker for the sound of a nice P-90 and that one super clean!
This isn't a P90, though - they're 4/10ths of an inch shorter. They just look like a P90 because of the casing. They _are_ close in sound to a P90, but they seem like a halfway point between Jazzmaster and P90 pickups.
⚓️Thanks Jen Mike 😎
Thank¨s Norman for your program!... my favorite ever!!...cheers from Patagonia Chile!!!
Love Mosrite tone all day long, and great playing. That said, this Mosrite has many issues and to a Mosrite collector would only be a parts donor. The worst part is that the binding has been removed from the neck and then the neck sanded down to meet the fretboard, making the neck narrower. This can be seen in the neck pocket where space is visible between the neck and body.
also the original metal string guide has been replaced with a bone or plastic nut, probably to increase the string height making the zero fret useless. and the neck bolt plate is missing, along with the trem parts.
@@marzsit9833 Yeah, too much to mention in one comment!
Yooooo the Henny Hendrexz jam :D
Great GOTD thanks Michael and Jen. It brought up many old memories with that surf sound.
Cool axe and fabulous playing Lemmo !!! Thank you Jen !!!
Seems like it would be possible to loosen the nut on the 3 way selector and adjusr it so it makes sense.
Someone must have done that to reverse the switch. They didn’t come stock that way.
Fabulous sound - one of the nicest and best I've ever heard on these GOTD reviews and demos. No idea what that first tune was, but it sounded great.
Mosrite guitars remind me of the old west, or at least this one does. The horns are cowboy hat-esque.
What's that first tune? I've heard him play it before. Love it.
Norm has the best guitar demo man in the USA :)
what is the second song? Just beautiful
I think it's "Pipeline."
@@rickriccardi4741 that is the third song, I am interested in the middle song, thank you
I'm in learning mode now....halfway I'm in progressing it...
He's played that song some time ago. Someone mentioned it sounds like Shania Twain - You're Still The One. The melody kinda matches up in some spots to the vocals.
@@af2w131f I don't think so. I tried to match it up, but I believe it to be something else. Strange that he or Jen will not answer...
Nice tone. I'd definitely re-finish it properly in a nice traditional sunburst. That clear laquer the former owner coated it with looks like it was painted on with a brush! Not cool.
Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of orange peel here.
What's with the sweet music?? You got to stand up with your legs spread far apart and hammer out some Ramones with that thing!!!!!!! HEY! HO! LET"S GO!!!!! Rock and roll High School!!! Sheena is a punk rocker!!!!!
That's a genuinely nice sounding guitar, expertly played. Not sure about the $2.5k price tag, though -- way too many major deviations from stock to have any collector appeal, so IMO it's either "player grade" to the max or a parts donor. 😎
Maybe $1,500.
Very nice Lemmo! Thanks Jen!
What a treat !!! I always loved these,,,,played one in the '80s. Yep, fastest neck around.
Been on an Iron Butterfly thing lately,,,,Yes i bought IGDV when i was12 in '69 but my best friend then bought Heavy the year before,,,,It was a better album i know now.
Danny Wies, Unconscious Power or Fields Of Sun. All on a Mosrite with a Fuzzrite. Repeat mode, pleeze :)
Years since heard these. oh, Lee Dorman played a Mosrite bass.
Great on that plus some Production work with Captain Beyond.
Thanx for the memories.
Only thing I don't like about the finish on it is that it's a thick high gloss. It's a personal thing of course, as my preference is a depth evoking slick satin. Love that they took the binding off though, I detest there being binding on necks.
Don't think you'll have any issues selling this as it is though, seeing as it'll fit a group of people's singular crevasse.
You're right, it's looking like it's a 1964 (or maybe very early 1965?) model that was refinished in the 70s. Also, the tailpiece has been modified for some reason (it should have a vibrato arm,) and I don't get why there's no neck plate, so that might be missing. The pickup rings don't look original, either.
Since you said there's no trouble bending notes, it might have been re-fretted. If the frets aren't the same as my 1966 model (0.070" wide, 0.022" tall on the Low E side, 0.015" on the High E side) then I think it was re-fretted. Mosrite did change to taller, wider fretwire in 1971 - 1972, but that was a ways off from when this one was first built.
The neck on my 1966 model is about 0.860" thick in neck depth, from frets 2 - 12. It doesn't taper up. The neck/fretboard width at the 0 fret is 1.560", so it's thinner than Fender's 1 5/8" (1.625") size.
I'm glad you didn't call the pickups "P90s," just sort of in the whole Jazzmaster and P90 range - they're somewhere in-between those types of pups. They're almost like clean as a Jazzmaster, but dry as a P90, if that makes sense. They're just at a good place in-between.
I'm also glad you pronounced their name correctly, as "Moe's Right." The name's a combination of the names "Moseley" (the last name of the head of the company,) and "Boatright" (one Reverend Boatright financed Semie Moseley's guitar tools early on.)
It's '64 with many horrible modif
Horrible modifications. It would have had a thin neck cover plate to cover the screws, unlike the '65 and later ones which have a screw-through thicker neck plate. It needs a new string rocker to accept the vibrato arm. the body has been sanded out of shape. The tuners are late 60's Japanese style, which were used on later Mosrites. There is WAY too much wrong with this guitar. The neck has been sanded slimmer to make up for the missing binding. You can see the gap between the neck and body in the video. This guitar is worth the parts of the pickups, bridge, tail-plate, pickguard, strap buttons, and maybe the harness (pending seeing original pots).
All that said, I love Mosrite tones and Michael's playing is always supurb. I still own about thirteen Mosrites today.
The three tell-tale '64 signs are the tall bridge height screws sticking up through the bridge deck, and the counter-sank neck screws which would have had the thin cover plate, and the no-logo smooth pickup covers with the smaller fillister head pole screws.
That just might be my dream guitar. I won't know for sure until I own it.
You might want to double-check on the neck. It works fine for me, but they're noticeably thtinner at the "nut" (not really, it's a zero fret guitar) than Fender's common 1 5/8". That said, if you don't like the 60s models, the 70s - early 90s models tend to have wider necks. Or you could just buy a Hallmark Guitar instead, which isn't exactly the same but is very close.
@@101Volts thanks for the cool info man! I am not really someone who worrys too much about specs. I like the challenge of being adaptable. That being said I love a good spec check
101volts -I have a Hallmark 60 Custom. It might not have the cachet of a Mosrite, but it’s a great guitar. The neck is just wide enough for me to play it-I can’t play those skinny Mosrite necks!
@@cojohnso80 Sure thing. One other thing; I can't speak for the 1976 - 1992/1993 models, but Mosrite weren't known to pot their pickups early on. They can squeal easily, but they're tonally sort of in-between Jazzmaster and P90 Pickups.
Mosrite Pups are supposed to use Alnico V magnets (they did use a "break-to-size" magnet in the 60s, which was discontinued around the late 60s - early 70s - but that doesn't seem to matter if it's Alnico V,) and either AWG 43 or AWG 44 wire. The casing's not as long as a P90, it's 2.975" on the outer diameter (I measured the casing for my 1966 model) and it's 2.875" on the inner diameter.
@@jfinester I have heard that Hallmarks have slightly darker tone, but they'll get you in the right neighborhood. I guess the tonal difference is partly because they pot their pickups.
The ultimate if Norm can acquire a Mosrite Strawberry Alarm Clock surfboard model.
The Bart Simpson headstock !
It was made long before the Simpsons existed, though I do wonder if Bart's design was slightly based on the Mosrite Headstock.
@@101Volts - Could be….
It's an M!! For Mosrite!!
Sweet !
Johnny Ranone guitar. Very cool
Lemmo Rock's 🤘😎🎸🎆🎆
☮️kevin
Sounds good
Wow
It would be nice to know the serial number.
Vintage picks sound more similar to a classical or accoustic guitar. The way they were winded up, the material, the pass of the time, I do not know but they have something that make some of them different.
How about some shadows
Or the Fireballs.
That three-way is wire backward.
Lemmo is great guitar player. I enjoy the hell out of these videos.
you neeeeeeed a band
First song sounds like Egyptian reggae by Jonathan Richman
Very nice sound. Whats the name song Lemo play 3:30
I was thinking to myself, that's a lot of reverb
Lemmo: Let's turn up the reverb a little bit. 😂
Sounded great though. Really.
that headstock, i always refer as the "Barth Simpson" headstock😊
Even so, it's coincidence. Either that, or Bart's head was designed to look similar to the Mosrite Headstock.
turn up the distortion for that ramones sound...oh and my shirt size is large
First mooo...
I’m a fan. I own a 66. But this one doesn’t do anything for me
Is the first thing he played a song? If so what is that name of it?

intro
Is the pickup at an angle for design or sound?
As a Mosrite enthusiast, I'm still not sure myself. The Mosrite Ventures model was originally named "the Joe Maphis model," but it was largely based on the Stratocaster - just with some re-designs. It's not too far of a stretch to imagine that the thought was "Instead of angling the Bridge Pickup, let's angle the Neck Pickup."
Its 3x3 tuner but head looks have no angle🤔
круть
Hmm
That kinda looks like a Univox
Univox copied Mosrite.
Is it a Mosrite that has been heavily cosmetically altered or is it a homemade Mosrite someone made in his garage?
If it started off as a Mosrite then someone sanded out the German Carve. Look, no well definded German Carve around the edges.
It's a real one that was altered, probably in the early - mid 70s, before the vintage craze started around 1979 - 1985.
Looks like an old surfboard.
That's not how you play a Mosrite, you beat the shit out of it.
Similar neck to a Peavey T-60.
Every Mosrite Lemmo plays he should dedicate 5 seconds to no effects, maximum distortion and a Ramones riff. Just 5 seconds... I'm not asking too much.
Shame a previous owner screwed it all up. Sanded it tok
with a singer
Strange body design which is more suitable to the lefthanders....
Or one might just place his arm differently, if that's comfortable enough for him. Though my 66 model (Ventures Mark V model, more or less*) is not the same exact shape, it's similar, and its shape does offer a different spot to place my forearm that's still comfortable to me. I usually place my forearm more above the bridge, then on the side like in a Stratocaster's arm carve.
* For sake of keeping confusion down, though mine's an earlier version, the model was named a Ventures Mark V later on.
@@101Volts I can see your point. Those who is in jazz/surf environment will prefer this actual direction of the body....
But in grungy mode like Kurt Cobain, I can see his point...
That doesn't look like an original finish and mosrite isn't on the head stock
Soyboy never heard of
The great Johnny Ramone
It’s been for sale for ages, stripped, sanded horribly altering its carve and shape, way overpriced.
Twist of lemon 666 on youtube enjoy
Great work Michael!
