– For your consideration is this vintage 1966 Mosrite Ventures Mark V electric guitar.
– This very nice 100% all original example, serial number B1515, features a rather rare Ink Blue finish. Of the approximately 800 Mosrite Mark V models produced in Bakersfield, CA, documentation suggests the dark “Ink Blue” color as the by far the rarest of all the available finishes.
– The German carve Mark II model, or the “Ventures Model II” as it reads on the peghead, is otherwise identical to its Mark V successor. Aside from the MK II simply preceding the MK V, the two models are quite literally identical in both design, construction, and electrical orientation.
– This is a beautiful instrument in well preserved cosmetic condition. The pickups are perfectly matched: both measuring 7.27 kOhm.
– The guitar is in 100% all original condition aside from one replaced volume pot. The original is included.
– Pickup measurements: 7.27 kOhm (bridge), 7.27 kOhm (neck)
– Neck measurements: .855″ depth at 1st fret, .823″ depth at 12th fret, 1.543″ nut width
– Weight: 7.8 lbs.
– No case.
