I thought it was something affordable and entry level....

What punk wants to spend 825 on that....

The Eastwood JR costs around the same retail $700 and is not as accurate a copy(goofy string bar) and in my experience with Eastwood they're mostly overpriced.

I like those Hallmarks. They sell parts, too.

This is more like a BURNS, but it has a weirdo Mosrite feel to it.

VEry strange, spinach florentine inlays. It looks like Antigua spread to infect the entire guitar.

Wow, never noticed how much more the JR was than my hi flyer. rediculous.

I think the hi-flyer is worth every penny of $400, even though I got it for 250.

These are a big deal on the Mosrite Forums, easily the most respected after an actual Mosrite.
I spoke to a few guys that have a 'Sheena' model and they reckon its awesome.

Cheers J i went elsewhere..
Its a decent little forum Tim, i got invited by a member after my project but i just casually pass through now and then. Too much temptation on there to own a proper Mosrite.. Â£

i knew you'd love em. my dad had a friend whom, when i was very young, used to come about and bring over new music and related stuff from the northwest. he was from yelm, wa or something.

he had a thomas that i used to marvel at. i've never been able to find any pics of, but he brought me 'bleach' on tape, and soundgarden stickers and stuff and i was like what is this crazy shit.

They're a copy of Mosrite Mark II pickups which didn't have any polepieces and were made by Mosrite on that model. Semi didn't make the slab body Mosrite Mark II for a long time because he thought it looked cheap. They are single coil pickups.
