My wife would kill me, then divorce me, then kill me again.

Do it, will be amazing for Kurt Cobain impressions.

It's not a shotgun, dude.

I think he did use a Mosrite for a chunk of Nevermind though although it might have been a copy called a Univox

Univox High Flyer and Mosrite Gospel. He had both. He was worthy of neither.

If one things makes death amd divorce worth it, that would be it.

Yeah, obviously my unapologetic Johnny Ramone fanboi-ness is raging with this one. I mean, that is his guitar. Not his actual guitar, but his famous white Mosrite is *that* guitar. A 1965 Ventures II. And his earlier blue one was the same thing...just blue. That is THE guitar that launched my brand of punk rock and everything that followed.

Do it Gregory. Buy it. Do it.

Fanboyness aside its in incredible condition and tons of paperwork and all that.

If i was a wealthy man i'd buy it for you buddy.

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment.

But no, I'm not buying that guitar. No way.

[JD01]

It is very cool - its just way, way too expensive.

The really bad thing about Kurt's Mosrite is that I think he trashed it in the studio while recording Nevermind.

Greg, why don't you offer to collect it to save on postage. Its less than 2000 miles from Texas.

Nope. Not a chance. I don't care what it is...I'll never spend that much on a guitar. I just thought it was cool that one popped up. The Ventures II is super rare. I think 65 is the only year they existed, and even then there weren't many of them. In fact, there were so few of them, Mosrite enthusiasts created a serial number registry and most of them that still exist are accounted for. They just don't turn up anywhere. I'm sure many of them have been destroyed because they weren't anything special in their time, and whatever's left is either in some collector's collection, or forgotten in some attic somewhere.

That thing is hideous. It ranks right up there with the reverse flying v and the wangcaster.

It looks like some 12 year old kid made that in the school for the blind wood shop.

Close. They were made by a crazy christian in a home woodshop.

But I bet if it said Jackson or Charvel or Dean on the headstock you'd fucking jizz buckets over it.

Nope I don't care for any of those guitar makers. I don't understand why you are so gaga over Mosrite guitars. Does some famous punk weirdo play one of those or something? The headstock looks like someone's dog was chewing on it. It looks like Salvador Dali took a Jimi Hendrix sized dose of acid and built a guitar.

[WhiskeyJack]

Who cares why anyone likes anything? I think stratocasters are hideous and will question the tastes of those that rave about them as if the were created by Athena and hold the cure for cancer within its output.

But im not going give anyone a hardtime about it.
