Re: Most & least desireable colors for 60s Mark I Ventures?
Sunbursts are the most common, but the most awesome in my book.
Beyond personal taste, I think if the Ventures played them, or they appeared on Ventures album covers, the color is most desirable. Based on that, I'd say the sunbursts, pearl white as first tier, followed by red and blue, followed by black and redburst.
Really thought, they're amazing guitars regardless of the color, and there were only 5000 or so Ventures Mark Is made in the original run so any is valuable.

Yes; I woulda said that, too. I own a white '65 mark I, but have been searching for a 'burst, too. Found one locally, but the guy won't part with it, unless I buy his bass & 12 string as part of a set.

I really like my sparkle red MK I, which would be my first choice, though I doubt it's to be considered the most collectible.
