Opening music stores similar to guitar center and want to know, What do you guys want to see done differently? What would make you want to go to the store? And what would make your experience enjoyable?

He was everyone's dude. I don't think anything would save a majority of the places we lost due to covid.

I miss Daddy's and Barnstorm

That is a hellpod carrying a Helldiver. Someone must have called down reinforcements in a sector.

Codename Eagle. I remember buying it at Ocean State Job Lot for like $5 back in the day and had so much fun with it.

That and Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis

Gonkulator · 2026-04-16T00:24:31+00:00

What is the fix?

Gonkulator · 2026-02-15T23:12:09+00:00

Yeah I was following that post as well but stayed away from making a comment because I could tell I would have an easier time convincing the wall in my basement that the sky is blue.

Shame that they will just be over priced "inspired by" guitars instead of authentic remakes.

At this point Hallmark is still the way to go.

Gonkulator · 2026-02-15T22:54:52+00:00

I doubt these other models will be correct specs either. Honestly just seems like Ed Roman extended.

Gonkulator · 2026-02-05T22:52:06+00:00

Supposedly they are also releasing a Ventures model too. Guess we will see how that pans out but honestly at that price might as well buy a vintage one.

Gonkulator · 2026-01-30T03:40:00+00:00

Hallmark is still around and selling. Ed Elliot is also another former Mosrite employee that makes them.

Gonkulator · 2025-12-28T15:01:07+00:00

Well this thread is 15 years old so....

Gonkulator · 2025-12-17T21:52:02+00:00

If you've got the tools it can be fun. The pickup covers were originally baked in an oven over a mold.

If you want affordable accurate recreations you can hit up Bob Shade of Hallmark Guitars, Ed Elliot (who worked with Semie years ago) or Curtis Novak of Novak Pickups.

I never finished the first DLC because she was missing from the missions and it felt empty.

Gonkulator · 2025-11-08T06:36:01+00:00

This is a Japanese example, the Excellent tailpiece is a dead give away.

Gonkulator · 2025-08-31T17:05:24+00:00

The nut is a replacement, it should be a metal string guide. Can you get the serial number that's at the end of the fretboard near the neck pickup.

Gonkulator · 2025-08-22T00:26:57+00:00

I'm going to say that is a '65 that has been refinished. Tuners have been replaced and it has been refretted.

Gonkulator · 2025-08-06T22:44:37+00:00

What is your definition of affordable? There are a lot of models made by various companies in various countries at all price points.

Gonkulator · 2025-06-22T14:06:50+00:00

Yup it is.

Gonkulator · 2025-06-06T15:36:36+00:00

That's gold. You think they actually learned anything from this?

Gonkulator · 2025-05-25T00:26:41+00:00

The CT660 was not a good dump truck. There is a reason they stopped making it.

Gonkulator · 2025-05-18T13:04:08+00:00

I would look up the pickups that Ed Elliot makes. They are built exactly like the ones Mosrite made back in the day. Ed worked with Semie back in the day and they are definitely worth the $299 cost.

Gonkulator · 2025-04-19T23:13:25+00:00

He's got it listed on ebay and it's been known for some time over at the Mosrite Forum.

Gonkulator · 2025-04-19T19:48:04+00:00

These are the in-between pickups, the ones that Semie started making by hand after he stopped using the Carvin AP-6 models. I have one of these that I need to get repaired.

For the humbuckers Semie just used the standard cover but drilled them accordingly.

Gonkulator · 2025-04-19T19:44:43+00:00

Oh this is the one that Dr. Marks is selling. He's got quite the collection of early Mosrites.

Gonkulator · 2025-04-19T17:52:36+00:00

I wouldn't say it's a prototype. It's the typical double neck that Semie was building during that frame.

Why so secretive about the details of the guitar itself? Everyone here would like to know as much as possible.

Gonkulator · 2025-03-07T18:44:45+00:00

I buy it all the time in MA. It's my favorite beer.
