  • Mosrite is an American guitar manufacturing company, based in Bakersfield, California, from the late 1950s to the early 1990s. Founded by Semie Moseley, Mosrite guitars were played by many rock and roll and country artists such as Tommy Tedesco, Davie Allan, Kurt Cobain, Joe Maphis, Larry Collins, Buck Trent, Nick McCarthy, The Ventures, the MC5, Iron Butterfly, Arthur Lee Love, Johnny Ramone, Ricky Wilson, Kayama Yuzo, and Kevin Shields. A friend of Moseley, a singing preacher named Rev. Ray Boatright, was deeply impressed with Moseley's guitar designs, and put up front money for Moseley to found his guitar company. In gratitude, Moseley named the company by combining his and Boatright's last names. It is generally pronounced "MŌZE-right. Mosrite guitars were known for innovative design, beautiful engineering, very thin, low-fretted and narrow necks, and extremely hot (high output) pickups. Moseley's design for the Ventures, known as the "Ventures Model" (later known as the "Mark I") was generally considered to be the flagship of the line, but all of his guitars bore his unmistakable touch. Mosrite also produced several types of double-necked guitars, which were the types favored by Collins and Maphis; this design was also used by Nick Nastos, lead guitar player for Bill Haley & His Comets, during 1968.
  • Mosrite, société créée par Semie Moseley à la fin des années 50, est une firme de fabrication de guitares. De grands guitaristes tels que Kurt Cobain, Johnny Ramone ou encore Fred "Sonic" Smith utilisent ou ont utilisé ces guitares. Daniel Jamet, ex Mano Negra, actuellement guitariste de Mano Solo, en a fait sa guitare favorite, dont il tire des sons forts intéressants. Cette marque a eu un grand succès principalement au Japon. Mais en 1992 le créateur Semie Moseley décède. Son épouse Loretta a continué la production de guitares pendant une année, puis a finalement arrêté.
  • La Mosrite è un marchio di chitarre californiano (Mosrite OF California) nata negli anni 50 ed utilizzata soprattutto da gruppi surf. La Mosrite divenne famosa perché utilizzata dai The Ventures, band surf strumentale che utilizzava due chitarre ed un basso (anch'esso Mosrite). Negli anni seguenti questa fantastica chitarra verrà usata da Johnny Ramone dei Ramones, Fred "Sonic" Smith degli MC5, da Kurt Cobain dei Nirvana e da Nick Royale degli Hellacopters. È caratterizzata da un suono secco e tagliente (molto in stile fender). Ora la Mosrite non è più prodotta in California ma in Giappone, dove viene costruita e assemblata in modo totalmente fedele all'originale.
