1966 Ventures Mark I, sunburst, ohsc. $3,000. Shipping included in USA, extra elsewhere based on locale.
This is the guitar that got me hooked on Mosrites. Remarkably clean, plays and sounds as good as it looks. As can be seen in the photos, it's got some chips around the edge of the body. Very few other marks on the body and essentially no finish checking. It's got the classic pickguard lift by the neck pickup where the material has shrunken.
Original hard case, with aftermarket handle. Serial number 48XX.
This guitar is almost stupidly beautiful. The only reason I'm putting it up for sale is that between my three pickup M3, Gruggett, and Partsrite, this one isn't getting the playing time it deserves. Plays like buttah, tone for dayz, etc.
Asking $3,000.

Stupidly beautiful indeed! About a year and a half ago (pre-mortgage, pre- house-that-needs-repairs), I seriously would have sold my Excellent and tried to scrape together the rest of the funds to get this. I hope someone can get this piece of history though while you still can, that's just gorgeous.

Mike expressed my sentiments exactly. If it can't be me, and it can't, it would be great if her new owner were one of us. Just the thing to take to Ventures Fan Fests.
