These guitars are considered desirable "final era" collectibles, representing a hand-built effort by Semie Moseley after the company had moved away from its early California factory, and they often showcase a lighter, modified approach to the classic 1960s design.
The Mosrite V-88 (or V88) is a rare electric guitar produced around 1988 in Jonas Ridge, North Carolina, by founder Semie Moseley. It features a traditional Ventures-style body with a German carve, typically paired with high-output, white-covered single-coil pickups, a Moseley vibrato, and a signature on the back of the headstock.
Key Features and Details
- Production & Rarity: Produced in the late 1980s by Semie Moseley, these are considered limited, with some sources estimating only about 60-100 made.
- Design: Often features a basswood body with a "German carve" (distinctive carved edge), 3-piece maple neck, and a bound rosewood fretboard.
- Pickups & Electronics: Known for having very hot, "fat" sounding single-coil pickups, often in white, with "M" stamped volume and tone knobs.
- Headstock & Signature: Features a "Mosrite/The Ventures Model/1988" logo on the headstock. Many were hand-signed by Semie Moseley with "Mosrite Forever in 1988" on the back of the headstock to fight counterfeiting.
- Hardware: Features a Moseley Vibrato tailpiece with a roller bridge and split-key tuners.
