OK, the price was too good to pass up and it looks like a 30" scale this time.  all original with case too.  Man, I am such a hollow body ho!   :P

You're a glutton for punishment.  ;)

Hope this one turns out to be issue-free.

good luck with this one, it looks nice from the pic.

Well yes, I do like to roll the dice once in awhile!  I just hope that all Mosrite sellers aren't the bottom feeders of eBay!  This one look legit and it's totally covered by PayPal again, so I figured what the heck!  It is a 30" scale this time, you can tell by bridge placement alone.  I really liked the sound of the one I had briefly, so this should be fine as far as tone, etc.  Besides, I got the darn thing on a $600 BIN!  I mean come on, why not?

That's a great price, if there are no issues.

You scored that one!  Nice, almost quilted, figure on the top too.

I think this one might be a better experience.  The rest of the pictures show a well cared for instrument all the way around.  There were so many flaws with the last one I couldn't count them all.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good result here.

That is absolutely beautiful!! Compared to the last one, it's certainly a much better value, too.

All us with Mosrite GAS want a nice report...............

Well, the first one I had had the cheaper soapbar pups and they sounded a lot like a mudbucker with just a little more clarity.  This one has the higher end pups with adjustable poles so I'm expecting something better than the previous Mosrite.  I was very temped to keep the first one just because it was rare but the 24" scale was just not my thing.  I also found a lot of flaws when I popped the neck off to check for a date stamp.  That did it for me.  On the surface, this one looks much better.  I'll share with everyone when it arrives.
