Based on what I've seen from the serial number collections, my Mosrite is a transitional model with a few aspects that are out of whack from other models, so I will list them out for you and include some pictures. To the specs: the serial number is B468; neck was made on January 17, 1966 (#0008); Body was made on January 10, 1966 (#0038); Moseley tremolo; truss rod on the body side of the neck; hat knobs with T and V played on knobs; a three-way selector that seems designed to flip from the bridge to the neck, whereas from neck to bridge clicks first into the middle position, as would be anticipated; small fret markings with two dots indicating the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th frets, one dot marking the 15th, 17th, and 19th frets, and three dots marking the 12th fret; epoxy covered pickups; pickup cover covers the pole magnets; orignally cream colored; tortoise shell pickguard; Kluson tuners; zero fret; 24.50 scale. I hope this information is helpful to your guys' data collections. If you have any other questions, I will more than happily answer them. Now to the pics (I apologize in advance from my prepaid smartphone camera images):

I was shocked to see dates stamped, including what may or may not be a luthier signature:

As I said, if there is any other technical info you'd like to know, I will provide it. As well, if you all have any info you could provide me, I would greatly appreciate it. I've been a gear head since I started playing guitar and always love to learn new things about what I've got.
