About me:

Hello,
I'm the guy that make's these over-the-top Joe Maphis Mosrite Special replicas. I loved these guitars the first time I saw Joe Maphis and Larry Collins play them on Town Hall Party. A series of very fortunate events put me in direct contact with Semie Moseley in 1957, the original maker of these very special guitars. In my teens and still in high school, I had the privilage to work and learn with Semie in the days before the Ventures model was even a dream.

We have recently added the ultimate companion single neck. "The Town Hall", inspired by Semie Moseley's classic double neck guitars of Joe Maphis and Larry Collins that were introduced on the legendary Town Hall Party. It has all the great cool features in a dazzling single neck version. These are custom, made to order, instruments of the highest standards. The ultimate rockabilly/country guitar that Semie should have built. Also available with 3x3 Maphis type head.

You can see pricing and more of my work at: www.tnmguitars.com
