It was nice stumbling on to this thread .. It seems to be a wealth of information of these unique guitars.. I have a 1964 Ventures model that I bought new at Sam Ash in Hempstead NY. I guess I am dating myself..
I have a lot of questions and look forward to conversing with you all.
Thanks
Tony B

Hey Ed .. It's been a while but this guitar has a set of your pickups in it . I bought them from you about 5 years ago. They sound great too.. I should still be in your customer base.. Tony Barca is the name..

Thanks for the warm welcome.. I look forward to talking guitars with you all
This is the baby.. I have owned it since December 1964 when my whole band purchased Mosrites upon us signing our first recording contract .. I was 16 years old. Of coarse over the years I bastardized this guitar.. When the pickups died I replaced them with Humbuckers and at one point replaced the tuners too. Then after 40 years decided to bring it back as original as possible.. So, Everything is original from this guitar except the pickups which are EF Elliott"s I put in about 5 or 6 years ago.. maybe longer..
I will check back often.. and once again thanks for the warm welcome

Welcome Tony. That guitar looks to be in great shape. Good to have another New Yorker here.
