NGD Mosrite Combo

Post by niksureal » Sat Jun 02, 2018 2:35 pm

I just got a Mosrite Combo. something i never thought i would ever own. probably my 2nd all time favourite guitar, only after a Mosrite Ventures model. its not in the best shape, which is part of the reason i could actually afford it but its not the worst ive seen. seriously happy.

Nice! I love those guitars but I’ve never seen a Combo in person. It’s a superb shape that design.

i know this is a forum that mainly revolves around fender but there is a surprisingly little amount of Mosrite action on here. oh well. i keep wishing the Mosrite forum was better but it really kinda blows. haha. i love osg.

I love it! I think the reason there's not as much Mosrite love is because they're a little tougher to find, I had never seen this model before.

Great looking guitar - enjoy playing it!

There is a store in Brisbane where the owner also has a blog and writes about guitars that are under the radar like Maton, Epiphone (Crestwood, Wilshire, Olympic and Coronet models), Japanese makers, Mosrite copies etc.

He is a big Mosrite fan and writes about them on his blog. Couldn't find your model but if you want to know more about more obscure Mosrite models, this is the place:

Also makes his own pedals too

That is a work of art! I can just imagine how smooth that neck plays.

It used to be back in the day but a lot of those guys are older or moved over to FB. Thankfully there is still a wealth of archived knowledge over there.

Ahhh! I forgot I posted about this guitar. Thanks for the responses everyone. It plays great! The skinny, narrow neck is right up my alley. My only gripe is the frets being so low but it's a Mosrite. I can accept it. It's not like it's hard to play. Thanks for the tip on tym guitars. I follow him on Instagram but haven't really looked at his site much.

I REALLY want a Mosrite “Brass Rail”. I could have picked one up on the cheap 20 years ago and should have. They are just too damn expensive now.
