Seems like the poster needs some more parts ....

'1964 Mosrite "The Ventures" Guitar Project
Just got this for a screaming deal! The guitar was all in parts, but I've been piecing it back together, I'm going to need to find a replacement tremolo arm, and I'll definitely have to redo the electronics, but everything else is there. The ugliest part and potentially the hardest part to fix up is going to be the paint thats been stripped off the back and sides, I definitely do not want the front refinished, but I'm not sure this is possible. I guess I could always get the back/sides done in a satin black if there aren't any other options. Anyways, here are some pictures, just a little mock up I did.'

Looks like they could use some help :-)

Juan,

That seems to be more like a '66 with the truss rod adjustment at the Headstock and
also wearing a Moseley Vibrato System (pot metal) as compared to the sand cast piece
known as the Vibramute. She's also wearing the "M" knobs, not the jewel knobs.

The pix below might help, but either way Juan, you STILL got a great deal!

:oops: It 's more Like They got a good deal ... I would love to find an old one like this ... No ,it wasn't me .

I usually scan the 'other Instruments section' on tdpri ... this was on it .... the finish on the front looked really good, but the back had been sanded ... luckily there were people going 'leave it alone' ..
