Tim Brennan of Tym Guitars in Brisbane, that's who. Found some photos of 'part' of his collection. Bloody hell...

wow Tim has a whole new level of GAS and BAS there and most of them the same type of axe.
He's probably got more Mosrites in his collection than Johnny Ramone had !

Those Mosrites have a certain coolness about them.

I saw a Tumbleweed video on Rage tonight, and I'm like "I know that guitar, it's one of them M... M... dammit what are they called again?" I had to find this thread to remember the name!

HAHA!!!
I got kicked off a guitar forum a while back for calling Gibsons high priced firewood. :)

I wouldn't mind having an early Johnny Ramone one if I could find one and had the $$$ it'd cost.
I do know, at least for me, seeing guitars leaned up against each other like that and on floor is something I don't like seeing. Even if it is just for a photo op. Great way to put dings in them.
I wouldn't even want to see Gibsons like that! Well...maybe just a few. ;)

As a LP / Tele fan, I think Mosrites deserve their place in my books! Might end up building one myself actually.....

Bang on Dan. Post hurricane Katrina.

Edit: flood. Duh. I have no idea why I thought it had anything to do with hurricane Katrina.

Love me any Mosrite, but especially Johnny's Ventures MkII. Can't get enough of that gammy shape ;).

cheers,

Wokka, yes, that's exactly how our kits arrive. Phil has to unpack the container, dis-assemble and strip each guitar of its dodgy factory finish and then re-pack it into it's retail shipping box. It's hard work, but someone has to do it.

(Just kidding, but who the hell would ship guitars this way?)

That's the same storm that destroyed almost every piece of gear Brad Paisley owned.

And I love Danmade's...gibson returns...hehehe

That's the only Mosrite I would own but that's because I'm the worlds biggest Ramones fan. :D

The first time I saw Tumbleweed play (early 90's) I thought those guitars were so very ugly. But I loved the 'Weed so much Mosrites became cool and I've wanted one since. RIP Jay.

I thought Les Pauls were firewood, not Mosrites.

It's that dire Bart Simpson haircut for the headstock ruins the guitar. So nope for me lol.
And I like the Simpsons too just not on my guitars.

Has anybody not noticed the Mosrite bass sitting there too? I've only just realised...
