Ventures Model

Postby philharmonic » Tue Apr 21, 2009 4:07 pm

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? :D 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.

Restore? Looks like all it needs is a pick up and some strings...
