Mosrite Guitars Prices

The Mark 1 USA Made 1963, 1964, & 1965 Guitars all come equipped with the Vibramute System. They all have the trademarked Mosrite German carved body.  

The Mark 1 Japanese Made 1963, 1964, & 1965 are no longer being imported into the USA. These guitars are every bit as good as the USA made ones but they cost considerably less. We expect to run out of these well before Xmas 2009. Move quickly and you will save quite a bit of money. They all come equipped with the Vibramute System. They all have the trademarked Mosrite German carved body. They are virtually indistinguishable from the USA Mosrite except for the Made in USA. 

The Mark 1 USA Made 1966 Guitars are brand new for 2009. They all have the trademarked Mosrite German carved body.  These cost less than the 65 Models They are made in the USA and intended to replace the Japanese models price point. These 1966 Models are almost exactly the same as the 65 model but offered for less money because the 65 model is considered the most collectible.

The Mark 1 Bass Guitars are extremely rare and hard to find. I have received a total of 13 pieces over the past 6 years.  I hope to have something in stock at all times.

The Mark 1 50th Anniversary  (Limited run of 50) Guitar is based on a Mark 1 Model but it comes with an extremely cool metal flake paint job and a custom 50th Anniversary pickguard. These guitars are priced radically differently based on the colors and availability.  They are discontinued in 2004 but there are still collector pre owned ones popping up here and there.  Prices are escalating on these guitars.

The Gospel Solid Body Model. Very hard to get model if we could ever get any supply of these the price would probably drop. I am lucky to get one of these a year they are extremely collectable and many Christian players as well as Jimi Hendrix & Kurt Cobain Fans want them. They are a bit overpriced for what they are but that is because the collector market has driven the price up.

The Mark 2  These guitars come with 2 single coil pickups while the basses have 1 single coil pickup. Mosrite's least expensive guitar.

 Incredibly Wide Array Of Great Colors

Metalflake Models are 50th Anniversary Models
Call For Information

Currently there are only 2 companies that are being copied more than Mosrite. These companies are Gibson & Fender. Usually as in the case of Mosrite & Fender the copies are cheaply put together Korean crap. In the case of Gibson I have seen at least 40 companies that are making better copies than the originals. Tokai, Madore, Navigator, Burny, Triggs, Dean I really hate to say it but Epiphones are built to a higher level of quality than many original Gibson guitars.  The only thing wrong with the Epiphones are the basic designs are so old that they don't lend themselves to today's music.

It's really easy to recreate Fenders & Gibsons because they use generic parts.

It's near impossible to correctly imitate the Mosrites because of the custom proprietary, bridges, pickups, knobs, tremolos.  {All the copycat companies don't use the real or even near real components)

The most popular models, which are the ones "The Ventures" played with the German Carve & Vibramute, They sell for about $1,595.00 to $3,495.00. Beware of cheap imitations with Bigsby tremolos or pseudo Fender tremolos. Wilson Brothers,  Eastwood, Wosrite, Excellent, to name a few.

The guitars that Semie's 4th wife Loretta Moseley is attempting to produce are a blight on Semie's product. The few that I have seen are atrocious and not at all worthy of being called a Mosrite. Dana Moseley Semie's daughter by his first wife is the one true keeper of the flame. Along with some assistance from us & Fillmore she has now been able to recreate the entire USA product line and is producing the best quality USA made Mosrite guitars that we have ever seen.

Be extremely careful of the (Excellent Brand) The word "Excellent" is nothing more than a brand name. I have seen ads for Excellent Mosrite's which is a very misleading because it sounds like it's an Excellent Mosrite.

In all actuality they might as well be called Acme Mosrites (Remember the word "Excellent" is nothing more than a brand name.   It's the same scam that  some Korean companies making guitars & calling them American. The word "American" is just a model name. They could have called it a "Mexican" or a "European" or a "Canadian" or a "Laplander" (This is just another scam to watch out for) You will see alot of this on FeeBay.

The second most popular model is the Mosrite JR 2 which is an exact replica of  the guitar that Johnny Ramone played including all of Johnny's custom modifications. They are finally available for a lower cost. These guitars are built in the USA but some of the components are made in Japan. There are almost no guitars built in Japan since the early 90's.

The signature hand made models, only 2 available per month, sell for over $4,000.00. There is a 50th Anniversary Model available priced on request (only a few left). Johnny Ramone Models are discontinued and only a few left in stock.
