I bet with that 0ne pickup you can get a sweet fuzz tone going.

Back in '88, Semie was already working on a "Travel Size" Guitar that would come with a Gig Bag, not to mention keeping in a Low Budget....Could this BE that type of Guitar??? Where did you get that Pic? Do you own it?? Mosrite Enquirer Minds want to know..... :mrgreen:

I found the photos on yahoo image search. I don't own it.. if I had Semi build me a custom it would have been something quite different than this guitar. It seems to me that the cutaways are exaggerated and smaller overall body, but that could be because of the lack of the 2nd pickup makes it look that way.. plus a weird cut at the head stock. I do like the red color and white pickups. I imagine it has a lot of sustain without that 2nd cavity in the body.

It looks close to a Mark II Slab Body model to me. Who is Chris?

Doesn't it look like a flipped Strat? - T

I would have said that but I thought it would be rude to call a Mosrite a reversed strat. :lol:

Well, isn't that what the whole Ventures model is supposed to be based on?
