THE GUITARS OF JOHNNY RAMONE
RED MOSRITE
The red Mosrite showed up in 1983 and was used as a backup for a very short time. (The brown guitar then became the primary backup.) These two live photos were taken on May 5, 1983 by Ian's "evil twin brother" and Mosrite expert Rick Reinert, who plays in the band HEAD.

This guitar was on EBAY as of September 2, 2009 for a lot of money. If you can't afford it, instead you can buy a reprint of Ian's original design YOO-HOO SHIRT as worn on stage by Johnny for a lot less!

The red guitar was put away but showed up later at a low point in Ramones history, a lip-synch preformance on "Club-MTV."
