1984 Mosrite Ventures Model

1984 Mosrite 'The Ventures' Model. What a blast from the past this mighty axe is! Often referred to as "the band that launched a thousand bands," The Ventures' cultural impact is still felt today, far beyond the guitar-centric surf-rock vibes of the '60s. While this band was indeed guitar-centric, this was the guitar.

In the mid-1980s, Mosrite production found its way into our neck of the woods—Jonas Ridge and Morganton, NC—just about an hour away from our shop here in Weaverville, NC. The guitar is loaded with Mosrite's proprietary single-coil pickups, often mistaken for P-90s or humbuckers. These pickups deliver an unmistakable punchy chime and clarity.

This guitar is uncirculated, a one-owner piece straight from the factory. It truly doesn't get any better than this!
