Ryan Mosley holds Mosley No. 1, a custom electric guitar modeled on the Fender Telecaster. Mosley built the instrument this spring in Sitka’s CTE (Career and Technical Education) program, formerly known as “shop class.” Musicians will note that Mosley plays left-handed, but is holding the guitar upside down to catch the light.
