Rob, are you absolutely sure you've not been on the sherry?

Call me old fashioned, but does this have anything at all to do with Rose Morris guitars?

I'm pretty sure I've seen this shot before (and more than once)....that does not in any way prevent it from being ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS in every way!! And thanks Ron for returning the thread from some strange parallel universe
Here's my pride and joy. Kindly photographed by Ron O'Keefe. Although it has some battle scars from being in my possession, I still love it, and I'll never get rid of it. Probably my favorite guitar in my collection. It's clean when I want it to be, but can really scream with some dirt on it.
It's currently undergoing maintenance work, but once it's back in action, I'll post some recent photos of it.

Looks great Jake... Pity we don't have a teleporter to get it over for the group shot!
In person, it looks more like Mark's 86 reissue. Another fine RoMo reissue is Gary Clauson's 1998 Pete Townshend signature model from Sept 1987. The guitar blew my mind in many ways. Notably, the bridge pickup. It was hot enough to cut through bricks and nailed Pete's tone very very easily. I have pictures of myself playing it, and I'm sure Gary will post pictures of it soon.

If you like we can include USA "S" models and re-issues with "f" holes of varying designs
So I'll start with a March 1964 Rose Morris 1998 model, in Fireglo of course, suitably surrounded by the Union Flag.
How cool is that! Now lets see what this forum has got. Enjoy
