I've played one of the solid bodies. It's been a few years, but I liked the "feel" alot. Pickups were a bit weak, no kind of punch to speak of. Tone and punch were pretty much the responsibility of the amplifier when using a Mosrite. Their guitars were the same story. Always a great feel, but the testicles had to reside in the amplifier if you wanted to get any kind of sound. That takes away about a half of what you look for from the whole equation and that's why Mosrites did not sell too well .
