One of the guitars we hand selected on our most recent Japan trip! We're pretty selective when we go shopping in Japan so we try to only bring back our favourite feeling (or just the most fun) guitars.
Made in Japan in the 1990s, the Mini Mosrite is a tiny little Mosrite model with full sized fun. These can be tuned to a variety of tunings depending on the strings you use, we've currently got it tuned in Open D. Solid body with a maple neck and a 18 fret rosewood fingerboard (42cm scale length, 39mm nut width), it weighs under 2kg's. This isn't a toy by any means with some very high quality hardware. Gotoh tuners with one original Mosrite branded soapbar single coil paired with an aftermarket Schaller humbucker in the bridge position, a rosewood hardtail tailpiece and fully intonatable bridge and a three-way mini pickup selector toggle.
Received a restring and basic service prior to listing, works well and the electronics were flushed and cleaned. Plays nice with life in the frets and a straight neck. The zero fret seems to have been replaced with a regular nut on this one and it's missing the string retainer, nothing impacting on playability though.
