Brian and his first doubleneck Mosrite

This guitar is one of the two Mosrite doubleneck guitars that were stolen from Brian while playing Los Angeles area nightclubs years ago, the other doubleneck had his name inlaid in the necks....some day someone's gonna see these guitars somewhere and I hope someone will one day come forth and return them to their rightful owner

Brian and His 40th Anniversary Edition Mosrite Guitar that Semie gave to Brian as what was to be the first out of 40 guitars that Semie was going to make as limited editions.  However, Semie ended up making only one, which makes this guitar very sentimental as Semie gave it to Brian knowing it would be played and taken care of with a loving touch.
