Mosrite Serenade Mid-1960's Flattop Acoustic Guitar

Glenn Campbell played one of these on the Smothers Brothers back before he endorsed Ovations.  His was natural and it sounded great.  This one is even more rare with this sunburst color.

It wasn’t playable when I got it so I took it to Chris Sisson at Restoration Guitar in Cincinnati.

The neck block had deteriorated (acoustics weren’t really their thing).  Chris fixed that and sealed the cracks in the top.

Very cool faux alligator case that came with it.

Tone and playability give it an A while visually it gets a C.
