Hi,


Can anyone help me find out what year this mosrite is. It a MK1 with 2 dual coil pickups and the serial number is SN V0486
you can email me if you want at ziplock@optonline.net

Thanks Gary

Gary,
Does it have a Ventures logo on the headstock or just the Mosrite logo? If just the Mosrite logo, does it say anything besides "Mosrite of California"?

thanks gary

Sounds like a 70s' model but not sure of specific year. Maybe take a look in the neck pocket and there will more than likely be a date stamped there. Kevin

I sold one that sounds like exactly the same one you are describing...V0476, black M, no Ventures logo, Sunburst body, neck, and headstock. I had estimated it as a 1972, but don't remember how I got that date, sold it years ago for some reason.
Scott

you are right thanks scott had a mosrite wizard tell me the same thing.what do you thinks its worth?its in near mint shape?
thanks gary

I hate to think of what it would be worth now, mine was mint too, bought it used for $335, in 1981, and sold it a few years later to get funds to buy a '71 Javelin. I sold it for $550. I don't know what the current value would be, just bought a VG condition '66 Ventures in CAR for $1,800 and thought it was a great deal. If I found my '72 for sale I'd easily go $2,000 to get it back, but I could be high or low.

Hey Scott

How did you like the double coil pickups compaired to the single coil?
thanks gary

Someone had replaced the original pickups with Seymore Duncans, and they were very weak. Since i didn't have the original Mosrite p/ups I never did replace them.

Yea That happens im interested in finding out what it sounds like its in shipping.i know they both are in the 11's thats a pretty strong set of pickups
