Hello to all from Sven and a Mosrite i would like to know more about
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 2:37 pm
Dear all,
thanks for the admission.
My name is Sven and i live in Hannover, germany. I am 45 and play music since i was 14. I play guitar, bass and drums. Mainly i play Gibson electric guitars and Taylor acoustics.
Mosrite got my first attention from the Ramones and the B-52's, when is was a teenager. I always found them beautiful but never bought one, until now.
I've done some research and found a fine guitar on reverb.
I thought about it a few days, liked how it looked and decided that this should be my first Mosrite.
I made an offer and got it for 780€ + shipping.
I am happy and very looking forward to it. Should arrive on monday.
The seller wrote it was made in japan in 1970.
On the small papersign on the one picture where the head is laying down it says "the avengers".
I saw this after i bought it.
From what i found in this great forum about Avengers i don't think this is an Avenger guitar.
The other thing i have noticed is that i have not found a single Mosrite Ventures on the internet with a bright (i belive maple) fretboard.
Maybe i am not doing my researches right.
It is confusing.
Anyway if it is a good guitar it is a good guitar and i hope it is a good guitar, then details don't matter.
But i only bought it from a gut feeling and the more i do a research and find nothing, the more i would like to know about this guitar and it's history.
Does anyone has an idea what kind of Mosrite this is?
This is a link to the offer on reverb.
I would be fantastic if someone could take a look at it and share hers/his thoughts about this guitar.
