Mosrite Ventures II - SERIAL NUMBER

Postby Chiccolattepiu » Thu Apr 17, 2014 2:40 am

Hello guys, I'm Chicco, a new member from Florence, Italy.
Just two weeks ago i bought a Mosrite Ventures II from a private.
Well, on the bottom of the neck shows the serial number "8090".
Anyone can tell me the year of manufacture by the serial number?
I wanna know and after a hard research on the web i decided to subscribe here!
Thank you, hope to get a response:)

Welcome to the forum. There is a serial no. list somewhere on this forum.
But don't get too excited, Mosrites don't follow rules ;-)

Oh and congrats on the new guitar! Mind to share some pics?

I'm guessing that "8" is actually a B. Cheers.

If you have one of those Slab Body type guitars (And that serial number is low) then you have an instrument currently valued highly among Mosrite collectors for a production model. They made two guitar body designs under the Ventures II name.

1970s "Not a Blues Bender" Bodies: 2.
1976 Brass Rail Deluxe #10.
