Bill Gruggett worked with Semie Moseley at Mosrite before starting his own guitar company that manufactured guitars through the 1980's. This is one of his earlier works, supposedly one of 6 instruments he built for a band called the Raindrops. This guitar shows wear and the finish has faded somewhat, but it remains in good condition and it plays and sounds great. The neck profile is almost identical to a mid 60's Mosrite Ventures. The guitar has been pro-setup and is in fine playing condition. The guitar comes with a non original hard case.
