In 1954, Semie built a triple-neck guitar in his garage (the longest neck was a standard guitar, the second-longest neck an octave higher, the shortest was an eight-string mandolin.) He presented a double-neck to Joe Maphis, a Los Angeles-area TV performer of country music. During the same time, Moseley apprenticed with Paul Bigsby in Downey, California, the man who made the first modern solid-body guitar for Merle Travis in 1948, and who invented the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, which is still used today. One of the most recognizable features on most Mosrite guitars is the 'German Carve' on the top that Moseley learned from Rossmeisl. He began by apprenticing at the Rickenbacker factory, where he learned much of his guitar making skills from Roger Rossmeisl, a German immigrant who brought old-world luthier techniques into the modern electric guitar manufacturing process. Semie Moseley began building guitars in the Los Angeles area around 1952 or 1953. Semie and his brother Andy experimented with guitars from their teen-age years, refinishing instruments and building new necks. In Bakersfield, Semie Moseley started playing guitar in an evangelical group at age 13. Script error: No such module 'Multiple image'. The Balladere models were made between 1968вЂ“1969, while the Serenade was an earlier model made between 1965-1969. They are the Serenade and Balladere models. Mosrite also made a very limited number of acoustic guitars that are somewhat rare. 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. Mosrite guitars were known for innovative design, high-quality engineering, very thin, low-fretted and narrow necks, and extremely hot (high output) pickups. Founded by Semie Moseley, Mosrite guitars were played by many rock and roll and country artists. Mosrite is an American guitar manufacturing company, based in Bakersfield, California, from the late 1950s to the early 1990s. Script error: No such module 'Coordinates'.
