Up for sale, a 1970s Mosrite Ventures Model in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. A continuation of the Ventures Model legacy, this guitar follows the stylings of the 1960s USA-made Mosrites, but was produced in Japan in the '70s as a result of an agreement between Semie Moseley and the Firstman company. All the hallmarks of classic Mosrite design are present on this model, with a deep German Carve on the rare ash body, Moseley-branded vibrato tailpiece, and a pair of overwound single coil pickups.
The single coil pickups are snappy and sparkling, wound hotly and mirroring ‘60s Mosrite spec at ~11.5k ohms. These single coils deliver a bold, distinct sound in every pickup position with an authoritative treble zing that’s quintessential Mosrite. The neck pickup is fat and broad, while the bridge has a chewier, upper midrange-focused quality. Weighing 8lbs 4oz, this Ventures Model has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Sunburst finish is dark and rich, exhibiting a bit of vertical checking and some faint texturing of the finish where it has settled into the pores of the body wood. Cosmetic wear is otherwise limited to some small dings and finish scratches. The smooth gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original Mosrite-branded hardshell case is included.
