This is a vintage 1966-1967 Mosrite Celebrity II electric guitar with an unusual flamed Maple top and back and the original case. Please see all the pics below. Built in Bakersfield, California during Mosrite's heyday in the mid 1960's, the serial number M0015 is on both the orange interior label and the fretboard. This was apparently Semie Mosley's answer to Gibson's ES-330 and Epiphone Casino. This is the highly desirable thinline version of the Celebrity with a body depth of 1 7/8 inches, scale length of 24 1/2 inches and 22 frets in addition to the zero fret. The electronics consist of two hot single coil P-90 style pickups - one owner said "like P-90's on steroids" - with master volume and master tone controls, and a 3-way selector switch. It has the famous Mosrite thin frets and narrow neck(with a little more girth than the Ventures models), Moseley tremolo tailpiece, and "M" shaped headstock, also affectionately known as the Bart Simpson headstock.  The color seems to be a red burst, what Mosrite called Cherry Burst, that faded on the top to a sort of 3 color sunburst - the back is still mostly red while the back of the neck has faded through use to almost all yellow/orange - please see the pics. Both pots date 51st week of 1966 so it's either a late 1966 model or an early 1967. It's in exceptionally nice condition for a 46+ year old instrument with very light surface scratches on the top and the same on the back with a few clearly visible. Overall very nice vintage condition with vibrant color and it has Mosrite's signature low action and fast playing neck - great for the collection and for playing. Included is the original "semi-hardshell case" - essentially a heavy duty chipboard case with an arched top. Thanks for looking
