Hello Mosrite folks...

Postby TeeJ » Sun Mar 27, 2011 4:29 am

Another Eastern US Mosrite enthusiast. A Technician - stringed instrument restoration / repair guy.
Have been 'Luting' for about ....never mind...I do remember getting Ventures albums as gifts and always wished Semie would have made a Ventures model in the same finish as the blonde Maphis. My Mosrite is a '91 with a sn of "HVO 3 307" (the '3' is pretty vague). Model...definitely a ventures w/o the logo, right down to the fast frets...the model may very well be the 'Masochist'...I purchased it 'as-is'. It was a basement relic and all controls are covered 'corrosion-white', it was incredibly filthy and the re-paint was, umm, not bad for the 'K thru-2nd' class. I have 1 dead pickup (open), so it will need a repair/rewind and I need a nut and screw for the bridge roller...one is zinc(was...now rust, threads gone). T

Welcome to the forum. I look forward to hearing more of the restoration of your Mosrite! I wasn't expecting to hear of another Mosrite that was treated badly so soon after buying my Early 1966 Ventures II which I'm still restoring.

Welcome to the forum. I've just recently started repairing guitars as a retirement project, so will be looking for some nuggets of information from you!
