Need to I.D. a Mosrite

[woodeye1]

A friend recently passed. I'm liquidating his collection for his family. Proving to be a real chore, I must say!

Yeah, Woodeye1, I have difficulty posting photos too. Sometimes I think it's me, other times I'm not so sure. Your 350 is in better shape than mine! Mine is a darker stain and a bit more beat-up, but I like it!

Thanks..awfully cumbersome. Hope I can get some responses soon. Really want to sell it soon. I have a bunch more to deal with. I also have a mosrite Joe Maphis dbl neck.

Is that it on EBay ? Any other Mosrites other than the double neck or any parts

[woodeye1]

No, it's not on ebay..trying to avoid that. The dbl neck is on Reverb, thanks to a local custom shop. Any one interested in making an offer on this one? (hope that's allowed here!)

I would guess the first "digit" is the letter A. I've seen many serial numbers where the letter stamp or number stamp was not square to the fretboard when the person stamped it so it did not fully transfer the letter. Sometimes the stamp bounced and the stamp can do a double image either overlapping, or not. I would guess A0050 for the serial number. Just a guess.

[woodeye1]

After looking into Mosrite's history, I believe that's correct. Probably should be an 'A'. Thanks for responding! Can anyone venture a guess as to value? BTW. it sounds fine, but is missing one of the 'lugs' on the bridge.

These 350's serial numbers start with a upside down "V"
That V's fontsize is smaller than that of the following digits, same as on the Mark Is and V2s of the 1971-74 era.

Thanks. Appreciate all the responses. Been very educational.
