"Here is Joe Maphis' double-neck Mosrite guitar that helped give him his nickname during the '50s and '60s as "the King of the Strings." The Mosrite shown here features custom Mosrite pickups, chrome tremolo bridge, a rosewood fingerboard and maple neck. Today, luthier Terry N. McArthur recreates a hand-made, nearly dead-on version of Maphis' famous Mosrite guitar."
