Here is a seasonal song to demonstrate my take on the Mosrite design of guitar.

Nice!

I only saw once a guitar like this, no idea about the brand, though it was probably 70's and blue color...
Back then we had a lot of fun with it in Amsterdam!

As an experiment I just attached two strap holders on a lap steel of mine for a customer to play standing Dobro style.

Fern,
The Mosrite was still being made up to that time and into the 80s I think, Here is an original.

James.
PS, I had a look at your guitars and liked them very much, they look very well made.

James,

Just had the time to listen to your recordings, you have a nice sound, what amp do you use?

Thanks for the Mosrite picture, it looks very familiar. Anyway we had it in the late 90's in a shop I used to work at that time... The owner used to go (he still does!) to the USA to buy vintage stuff for his shop. So we bought also a lot of Oahu and Fender laps at that time. I went 4 times with him, but only the small show at Orlando.

Thanks! :D

Fern,
I use a Vox Valvetronix 15 amp and record with a Zoom H2, here is the full setup, big enough for me, I only play at home to amuse myself now.
