- 1966 Mosrite Gospel Mark-i - Model 600
guitarz.blogspot.com When I think Mosrite I think mostly about the iconic double cutaway solid body with a longer lower horn, a slanted neck pickup and a German carve, but though this Gospel semi-hollow is more classic, it still has the special hardware...
- Unidentified Höfner Verithin
guitarz.blogspot.com Despite my efforts - I must have checked 100 guitar models on the inevitable vintagehofner.co.uk website - I couldn't identify this Höfner Verithin archtop guitar from the late 1960s. It has plenty of highly recognisable elements...
