1966 Mosrite Joe Maphis Doubleneck 6/12 Electric Guitar
100% Original, very nice neck and Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with very low action, frets are original in very good shape, comes in original hard case.
This is the ultimate surf or 1960s electric guitar: a ONE OWNER Joe Maphis Doubleneck Mosrite guitar, which comes with documentation, including a band photo from the 1960s, showing the guitar. The photo and an accompanying letter are signed by the original owner. If you have ever played a Mosrite doubleneck, they can be somewhat inconsistent in quality. This one is a very definite exception--it stays in tune on the 6 or the 12 neck, the string action is incredible, the tremolo bar works great, and the pickups sound fat and clear.

THE STORY OF MOSRITE:
http://www.modernguitars.com/archives/002017.html
A guitar owned by the late-great Kurt Cobain, who years ago
admitted his was bi-sexual, is set to go up for auction April 15, at the
Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas TX.
This instrument is unusual in a couple of ways; It is the only known example of
a Mark V style Mosrite Gospel model, and one of only two Mosrites Cobain owned.
The bidding is expected to start at $75,000 and comes with documentation.
