Bob, will they be shipped in order of when they were ordered?

Will the earlier orders get lower serial numbers?

Mr. Shade, I have a question for ya. On the tremolo version of these guitars, does the trem piece slides at all, or does it stay in place? there has been some discussion about how the regular moseley tremolos will do this occasionally, and I was curious if this was the case with the ventures 2 trems. It seems to me that unless there was something to stop the trem from sliding off (besides string tension) then it would be prone to tuning issues. can anyone else comment on this?
thank you . :?: :?: :?: :?:

Hey again Bob
I know this sounds a bit dense but i know that the mkII pickups were built differently and more cheaply than other mosrite pickups so i was wondering if you can get that really hot surf tone characterized by other mosrites. thanks again.

That is a good question. The answer is yes, the pickup has differrent construction however, the quality of the components remain the same. Same quality magnets, wire etc.

The pickgurad is 3-ply plastic. The originals had both solid white or black as well as 3-ply. I have seen both. We used 3 ply as I think it looks better.
