Re: Short Ventures/Mosrite story
Sweet look at the early Ventures/ Mosrite snapshot.
Hey did anyone notice the neck position dots are larger than normal? Also, I have never seen a RW+B with a Moseley trem. Another thing I have never seen is a wood joint in the center of the neck in the headstock going right through the Ventures logo. Wonder what the scoop is on this one?

Re: Short Ventures/Mosrite story
I just took another look..............two more things, I don't see a trace of a serial number, and the arm on the Moseley has a screw going right through the top. The bottom of the tailpiece also looks slightly more rounded off of the corners that a typical Moseley.
Hmmmm, Uncle Sam have a funky Mosrite

Re: Short Ventures/Mosrite story
looks like they ran out of wood for the headstock and had to piece it up...

This looks to be the same guitar I saw a few years back at "The Vault" in Orlando. It was mounted in a glass
showcase with a Pearl White and a Candy Apple Red "Ventures" Model as well. The Pearl White looked as though
it had been around the block a few times.....

Re: Short Ventures/Mosrite story
Nice video, thank you for sharing.
The guitar is a mite odd, tho; no surpise for a "signatures" instrument, in this opinion. A local signed Fender Strat is actually a Squier.
