Hey all
Here are some pictures of my Ventures model. As you can see it needs some restoration. Isn't this the same guitar that Danny uses on his Mosrite Forum Logo? I can't wait to fix this baby up. So far, I think it just needs a pickup and electrical work. Other than the picture of the gashes that I have pictured here, the finish is in good condition.

Very inviting Phil!
I'm not a guitar doctor but I'm sure there will be many hands on this forum itchin' to want to have a go at cleaning and restoring this iconic instrument!

Re: Ventures Model
Restore? Looks like all it needs is a pick up and some strings...

Re: Ventures Model
a nice coat of wax wouldn't hurt either...
