Up for sale, a 1990s Mosrite Ventures Model '63 vintage reissue model in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. One of the rarest Kurokumo-made Mosrites ever produced, this top-tier model replicates the Ventures Model's earliest features with set neck construction, input jack located on the side of the body, and multi-ply binding framing the German Carve top. This particular example has "The Ventures" logo incorporated into the pickguard, likely a nod to the similar pickguards on a rare set of The Ventures' guitars used by the band in the '60s, similarly branded on the guards for promotional appearances.

The single coil pickups have ample power and midrange content, wound properly to vintage-spec and metering at nearly 13k ohms, providing an authoritative sound that's quintessential Mosrite. Weighing 8lbs, this Mosrite Sidejack has been professionally setup here at Mike and Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.
