Mosrite Wannabe......for now.

Postby 34crewboat » Wed Oct 14, 2009 2:01 pm

Greetings all, I'm 47 and have played guitar on and off (mostly off, until recently)
since @ 1975.
Life has gotten in the way of music for a long time, but in the last 2 years I've finally begun playing regularly again. I have a few nice instruments, but would really like an original Ventures model. Love the sound, the look and the history of these unique instruments.
I oversee production for HOB Atlantic City and get to spend a lot of time around (and occasionally get to play) some amazing vintage and historic instruments, but the Mosrite is the guitar I keep coming back to.

With some luck and maybe some help from the folks here, I'll be able to find one.

Wish me luck!

1971 Mosrite MK I
1976 Ibanez Les Paul
1986 Peavey Impact I
2004 American Deluxe Stratocaster
2004 Gibson SG standard
2007 American Standard Telecaster
2007 Les Paul Classic


1968 Super Reverb
1974 Bassman 50
2004 Jcm 2000

Welcome on board 34crewboat... ;) it may not be an easy task finding your Mosrite but I'm sure you'll find it; as long as there's a Mosrite will, there's a Mosrite way. Browsing the Forum is a good way to start your orientation, good luck.

keep your fingers crossed for a government sponsored "cash for fenders" program where they buy back your crappy korean made fender for much more than it is worth and you can apply that towards a vintage mosrite. then when you can't make the payments you can get a bailout with tarp funds.

uh, welcome to the forum.
