2000s Mosrite Super Custom ‘65 Ventures Model Pearl White, Near-Mint w/ Vibramute, Japan Kurokumo

Up for sale, a 2000s Mosrite Super Custom ‘65 Ventures Model in showroom-clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted at the KuroKumo factory in Japan, this rare reissue model was made for a limited period, with the majority of examples only available to the domestic Japanese market.

KuroKumo-made Mosrites are sought after for their masterful build quality and attention to detail, and this Super Custom ‘65 replicates all the essential features of the early Ventures Model instruments, with smooth knobs, sandcast Vibramute tailpiece, and prominent German Carve on the basswood body. The stock pair of single coil pickups are somewhat more conservatively wound than vintage USA-made models, metering ~6k ohms, still delivering an authoritative sound that's quintessential Mosrite. Weighing 8lbs 8oz, this Super Custom ‘65 Ventures Model has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
