Johnny Ramone bought his first mosrite there, the blue one - supposedly
he
settled on the mosrite because he'd asked the salesmen so many times
about
the
prices of the guitars he got confused and quoted a cheaper price than the
first time so he bought it. His reciept for that was up for sale on ebay
when
he was still alive, I dont think it made the reserve price at the time.
