NGD - Mosrite Joe Maphis

Post by Gonkulator » Tue May 21, 2024 5:16 am

I have been hunting for one of these since I was a teenager and I've finally got my hands on one. This one is somewhere between 1962 - early 1963. The earlier style headstock, the Guild knobs and Vibramute with the Guild logo ground off and flip up mute. The nut width is still your typical Mosrite skinny, the neck profile is slightly thicker.
