  History 101
Often forgotten in the rejuvenated interest with acoustic guitars of the 1990s, Mossmans are best known for their craftsmanship, high quality tonewoods, and attention to detail from a period when major manufacturers were rushing to meet the demand for acoustic guitars.
Guitars built prior to 1970 have a letter denoting body style (most were D for dreadnought) and are numbered sequentially.
The original Mossman guitars should always be remembered for a special attention to detail, for quality which was unavailable from the larger producers of the time, and for a sound and playability which remains today in the nicely aged examples available on the used and collectible market.
