WELCOME TO TRUETONE LIVE!!!
Welcome to the exotic world of TrueTone Live. Here you’ll find some unique items we guarantee you won’t find anywhere else. Musical items for the discriminating player, the obsessive collector, or heck, maybe both.
If you play guitar in L.A. (and I’m pretty sure everyone in L.A. DOES play guitar), then you know about TrueTone Music. Named by Los Angeles Magazine as the Best Guitar Store in L.A., TrueTone is a pro-quality purveyor of all things guitar and bass, and a few other interesting things thrown in.

When we first saw this guitar, we said “something’s different.” And it was. It’s a Mark V, which is a little smaller than a standard sized Mosrite Mark I, but everything else is Mosrite of California all the way. It’s a 100% original sunburst work of Mosrite art, and though there is a lot of finish checking, it’s otherwise in very good condition, with very little wear on the original frets.. Quite a deal at $1,895.
Hmm, lemme think, how else can I make this item appealing to you? Oh, how about:
FREE SHIPPING!!!
That’s right, we’ll pay the freight to the continental 48 (Alaska, Hawaii, and international buyers, you’re welcome to buy one, but you’ll have to pay shipping). And if you’re in California, you’ll have to pay sales tax, but that shouldn’t be too big a surprise.
Payment, Shipping, and other policies:
In case I didn’t make it clear enough before, shipping and insurance to the 48 contiguous continental United States (Maine to San Diego, Seattle to Key West) is FREE!!! Alaska, Hawaii, and international buyers pay for all shipping and insurance. Unit will be shipped FedEx Ground unless you want it sooner and are willing to pay for it. International shipments are usually shipped via USPS Global Express Mail, which means they'll get there faster than they would if you were in the U.S. and we shipped it FedEx Ground (go figure). Payments accepted include VISA/MasterCard/American Express/Discover/PayPal, or even cash if you want to come into the store and pick it up. International buyers must pay by bank wire transfer and the transaction must be verified by our bank before we can ship. Shipping outside the United States will be paid along with the Customs fees by the buyer when the item arrives. If you have any questions about this guitar, your best bet is to call the store at (310) 393-8232 during business hours (M-Th 11-9, Fri 11-7, Sat 11-7, closed Sundays). If you want to come in, we’re at:
TrueTone Music
714 Santa Monica Blvd.
Santa Monica, CA 90401
(half a block west of Lincoln Blvd.)
If timing doesn’t work out for you to call, you can also email them to me by clicking the “Ask Seller a Question” link on this page. I shouldn’t have to say this because we’re all adults here, but sadly, I do: Your “Buy It Now” is a binding legal contract, and if you click that link, you will be expected to complete the transaction. If this listing is ended, it means someone called or came into the store and made a deal (it could be you!). Thank you very much for your interest in this item, and happy shopping
ITEM AVAILABILITY--PLEASE TAKE NOTE: We are a real retail store. Yes, it’s true, we are an independent brick-and-mortar music retailer in Santa Monica, California. Everything we list on ebay is also available for sale in the store and usually hanging on the wall with all our other guitars, basses, amps, and other interesting items. This latest batch of items we’ve listed here has generated a tremendous response from people like you (thank you very much, by the way), and our merchandise is selling faster here than ever, so it’s realistically possible that someone could come in and buy something we have listed here and walk out with it. When that happens, we notify the guy who handles our ebay listings, and he ends the listing as soon as possible. If you do a Buy It Now after we’ve sold the item in the store but before we’ve taken down the listing, there’s nothing we can do for you. Almost everything we sell on ebay is a one-of-a-kind item so we can’t just sell you another one. The first one to commit to buying it is the one who gets the item, and if it’s gone before we get a chance to take down the listing, we can’t get it back.
HOW TO KEEP FROM LOSING OUT: If you see something you want, Buy It Now before someone else gets it. If you’re in doubt, call the store (310-393-8232) and make sure it’s still available. You can submit questions on ebay and they’ll get relayed to us, but that takes time. Call us and we’ll talk with you immediately. We want to make you happy, and with your help, we can improve the chances we’ll do so. Thank you.
About This Listing:
Don't let the low feedback scare you. We just set up this account solely for TrueTone sales. I’ve been selling and buying music (and other) gear on ebay for years. And I’ve been a customer at TrueTone Music in Santa Monica for about as long. Ken at TrueTone has enlisted me to help give some of these very specialized items a larger audience in the hopes of finding the right homes for them. This is the coolest gig an Internet geek like me could ever get: selling TrueTone merchandise on ebay, and making it look to my wife like I’m actually working! With this arrangement, you get the best of both worlds: TrueTone’s selection, service, and integrity, and ebay pricing. Plus, you get me to facilitate the transaction. You can pay for your purchase with a credit card by calling it in to TrueTone, and it will be expertly packed and shipped by people who know music gear. Or if you’re in the area, you can come in to the store and pick it up. Big-time props to Ken and the folks at TrueTone for making this possible.
