1950's and 60's single necks.

This is a 1959 "budget" Mosrite made by Semie in LA. This one, like the double neck on the previous page has non of the signs of a full scale Mosrite that Semie was famous for like the German carve, inlays, binding etc.
The pic below shows the crude soapbar style pick up "wrapped" in tin foil that Semie used in these late 50's guitars.
This left handed bass was built by Semie probably around 1960/61. It would have been a one off custom order.
