Hi, Gary! Welcome to sg101. Very glad you're here.
Everyone, I know Gary from The Ventures East Coast Fan Fests. I was amazed by the guitars he brought along to display at this year's event. "Brought along" doesn't begin to cover it. Rather than risk his personal instruments to an airline, he drove cross-country with them. He's a HUGE Ventures fan and real-deal collector of guitars associated with The Ventures. And, Gary is a really nice gentleman.
I've followed the genesis of this guitar for a quite some time on Ventures forums, where there is considerable interest. I expect by the time I see it in person later this year, it will be probably signed by everyone. Am I right, Gary?

You may get to see it at the fan jam but I am not going to have this one signed.

The photos on wilsonguitarventures.com suggest that the offset is smaller than on mosrites. It was easier for me to identify the offset by measuring the photos than from just looking at them.

As a Mosrite lover, these guitars look terrible disturbing and wrong to me. First of all, the shape is not offset and it looks like a regular strat.
The whammy looks odd, as it is a simple Jag/Jazzy trem.
It's also missing the double and triple dot inlays. And IIRC it doesn't have a zero fret.
I must admit that I have never laid hands on this model, but I assume they are in the same range as the Aria DM-380. Maybe a little better quality like the Eastwood models?
The videos I've watched on youtube weren't convincing...unfortunately.
