... Would there be anyone interested in buying? As it stands now I have a template for a Ventures type guitar. I haven't actually built any yet. I imagine I could trace my Ventures II and Brass Rail as well to build guitars like them, and I was thinking of buying the 350 and Bluesbender type guitars so I could do that too.

Austin;
I'm sure many would be interested, would they be rough bodies, smooth sanded, Painted ? Any idea of price range ?

I agree that a lot of people would be interested. If you do decide to sell them you should make them in a few different woods. I can think of 2 cheap woods you could make them out of so that people can build them for cheap. You could do MDF for the cheapest one, pine could be the 2nd cheapest, and then you could use the more common woods for guitar body's.

Re: If I were to build Mosrite type bodies...
Thanks. And what are some other Mosrite guitars I could make copies of?
Combo or Joe Maphis model (Same body shape, right?)
Ventures II Slab
S. M. Model (If I can find one; I've only heard of maybe four total.)
Sooner Model (Doesn't have "Mosrite" on headstock)
... Any ideas? I do have tools to work with.

Oh yeah, that's one I haven't even seen done so far.
Come to think of it, and this is a bit different, was there ever a double-necked Celebrity model? I've never seen one.
