Dag! I had no idea vintage Mosrites could be such high-dollar instruments. I have much to learn. :)

By the time you go through and read all the 6000 plus posts here on the forum you will have a PhD in Mosrite knowledge. ;)

And just a word to the wise to back up Danny, I PURPOSELY go back and re-read the older posts and find, that I forgot about a
certain model, or find updated info that was already posted. So, just a little valid info, it DOES NOT hurt to read past posts.
Otherwise, you might be asking a question that was already answered 3 or 4 times already....I'm guilty of this :oops: .........

I personally think its a bit overpriced, the condition isnt that great, though all original and i've seen '66 models go for simular but in great condition. Hold out, something will come up thats in that price range but in great condition..

Looks like I've struck a deal for one! It's described as "a '65 pearl white Ventures RI with vintage Mosrite knobs and mosrite stamped Kluson tuners". Trading my HW AC-15 and a bit o' cash for it. :D :D :D :D

Whats the serial number? Also, I didnt think that the klusons were ever stamped with 'Mosrite', only such tuners I am aware of is the duck feet on Bass'...anyone???
