A rare reissue of the famous 1965 Vibramute model of the Mark1 from the late 1970s by Mosrite is for sale. The body has retained the wonderful shaping of the '64 Mark 1 model, along with an ultra-thin, super-playable neck. The high-output single coils as well as the Kluson tuners come from the 70s. The well-preserved nitro paint has aged beautifully over the years with many fine nitro hairline cracks and slight fading of the red tones. The one-piece body is also nice to look at
The Mosrite is from the late 70's! Accordingly, it has signs of use! Despite the great condition, there are still signs of wear on the paintwork, hardware and plastic. The lacquer is overlooked with many fine cracks on the body and neck. The binding on the neck fits all around and is free of damage. The pickguard has wear and tear, but is still in good condition and free of cracks. The pickups are in original condition. The potentiometers have been replaced with Alphas in the past, have replaced them with new CTS pots. Accordingly, it is difficult to determine the exact year of build of the Mosrite. Compared to other 78/79 models, this one must also be from that time. The typical Mosrite narrow, flat neck with its flat mandolin-style frets is straight and not warped!
I gave the Mosrite a major overhaul. The lacquer and vinyl was cleaned, disinfected and polished up by me. The vibrato was completely dismantled, cleaned, prepared and re-lubricated by me. Runs nice and smooth. Mechanisms have been cleaned, polished and re-lubricated. All electrics treated, cleaned, checked and grounded controlled. The neck adjusted for a great action. Fretboard and frets cleaned, treated, oiled and sanded. The Mark 1 is ocatve clean and setuped and plays beautiful with the strung on Pyramid Nickel Roundwound strings
