Hello:
Thank you for allowing me in the forum. I can't say I know a lot about music, but I know what I like. I've been a Mosrite lover since I first heard The Venture's on the radio. The mistake I made was to stop playing guitar when I was in high school in 1967 (yes I'm that old). I missed out on buying a Venture's Mosrite back then when I was spending money on cars, model aircraft and Mad Magazine.
I have just realized my dream to actually own not one but two Mosrite, Venture's Series guitars. My first is a bass which has quite a history, from what I'm told. I am the second owner. The man who sold it got it for his birthday as a high school student in the mid sixties. His parents lived down the street from Semie and asked a special favor. My bass was built in his garage/shop by Mosely's own hands. It's not the fanciest bass, but it is my pride and joy. Today I picked up my second Mosrite, this time a lead/rhythm. As luck would have it, they are both Sunburst 1966 models.
For most of my adult life, my hobby was model aircraft. Last winter I made a decision which would lead me to finding these Mosrite's. I have other guitars and I enjoy them; but they don't have the Mosrite sound.
I live near Boise, Idaho, am retired and live modestly with my life-partner Gwen. We both have a love for music and the making of music.
Regards
Rosie
