One of Mosrites workers stole the design and built copies for Standel in 65/66. I own a Harptone made Standel 520-C that I'm told belonged to Simi Mosley. It has a scripted capital M ingraved on the truss rod cover, and came with a hand made brass saddle piece. I have no documents backing up the story. So it just a story.Eric Suttonhttps://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/standelharptone/noreply@blogger.com
