Re: Mosrite Electric Mandolin
It's a - what, now? Never heard of such a thing, and even now seeing isn't exactly believing. I'd be more credulous if it had a scaled-down version of the distinctive Mosrite headstock, but this ... Also, what is going on with the redrilled tuning post holes? Does saying something is "custom" explain away otherwise unexplainable features? I dunno.
This looks to me more like something slapped together as a well-let's-see than even a prototype. The placement of the tuners, plus their inconsistency in coloring make for some headscratching. And what's going on in the last pic - are those fuses? This whole thing looks pretty - well, I was going to say "hinky," but in a nod to its putative California roots, I think "gnarly" will do.
And at $3150, it probably belongs in the won't-get-a-bid thread.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
