Description

What makes this guitar special:  An awesome sounding Mosrite with a super cool vintage vibe.  Aside from the trem arm, the guitar is all original.  A true road warrior with lost of good honest play wear - just the way we like 'em!  Loaded with a pair of killer sounding single coils, this Ventures Model is totally rad!  Straight, comfy neck & classic sunburst finish - perfect.  Professionally set up by Cream City Music with fresh strings & low action, so it plays great!

Cosmetic Condition:  This one's been around the block a few times & it shows - lots of nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & finish wear.  It's taken everything that was thrown at it & come out on top - just a fabulous, true vintage beauty with a gorgeous patina.

Neck:  Slender profile maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots.  Beautiful Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with micro dot inlays.  Original frets show some light wear with plenty of life in them.  The frets on these vintage Mosrites are pretty tiny & not what most players prefer, but they are original nonetheless.  Nickel Kluson Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 9/16" metal nut with zero fret; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod is in good working condition.  Neck date is Jan 12, 1966.

Body:  Double-cutaway maple body with arched top finished in 3-tone sunburst.  Moseley tremolo tailpiece with replaced arm.  Six-saddle adjustable bridge.  3-ply pickguard has aged into a greenish/cream color & is in great shape with no cracks.  Guitar weighs 8 lbs 7.2 oz.  Body date is Dec 2 or 9 1965.
