Description
What makes this guitar special: True vintage Mosrite Ventures model with an ultra cool look & super comfortable feel. Professionally set up by us so it plays great & sounds amazing! Cream City Music is committed to providing the best possible service to our customers & we strive hard to ensure our vintage guitars are advertised as accurately as possible. This particular Mosrite, however, is slightly perplexing as it relates to the body finish. The metallic blue finish is indeed the proper color used during this time period, however, when we took the guitar apart we noticed remnants of red finish in various cavity areas, namely the pickguard screw holes & neck pocket. The electronics, wiring & black tape under the neck pickup are correct. The neck pocket is clean & still shows the ink dates, as does the back of the neck. We're not 100% sure, but it's quite possible this guitar started out red, but was changed to blue before it shipped. There's some 'orange peel' in the finish in a few spots, but this appears to have been caused by overspray & not necessarily from being refinished. In short, it's difficult to say for sure if it was truly refinished after it left the factory or if it was done by Mosrite. Either way, it's still a magnificent guitar with lots of vibe.
