Mosrite Ventures model Made in Carson City, NV for Export to Japan Only

I am offering for sale my Mosrite Ventures model. It was built in Carson City, Nevada, circa around 1979, by Semie Moseley. There were only about 200 made for export only to Japan. I acquired this from a respected Mosrite collector in Japan, so it's the real deal. Probably one of the few, if not the only one remaining in the US. Serial number 0066.

It's a one of a kind built by Semie himself. It's in excellent condition. I only changed the electronics...two pots, pickup selector switch and jack and wiring for those items. I kept the original items that were replaced and they will be included. The pickups are original and I did not tamper with them. I also have an extra heavy duty vibrato spring if you want to switch to heavier gauge strings.

Oh yes, I mentioned one of a kind. If you remove the vibrato assembly, underneath is the "Easter Egg" or perhaps the "Semie Egg".  Stamped on the back of the assembly is Made in USA by Semie Moseley AND...his initials "SM" are etched in the metal piece as well.

It does have a few light minor scratches, otherwise, it is in excellent condition. I have more pictures as well. Please contact me if you are serious and would like to find out more about this collector's item.

I have only played it a handful of times. It has the narrow neck, "speed" frets and truly sounds and plays just like a 1965 Ventures Mosrite.
I really do not want to part with it, but need to thin my guitar herd.

It's hard to put a price on it as Semie may have used original parts from the 60's. In any case, it is an excellent investment and will be worth a lot more down the road.

I'm asking $3000, although I paid a lot more for it.  Guitar will be shipped insured for sale amount.
