1967 Mosrite Avenger all original, have a few questions

[khai123]

So I have a 1967 (so research suggests) Mosrite Avenger, the body is a dark transparent walnut stain, the neck is pretty fat, it's in mint condition minus a little cosmetic headstock repair, is a really cool guitar. I wanted to ask the forum though, do you think the value would be equal to suggest a trade of my Avenger for a Hallmark 60? Do you think people might go for that? Perhaps a Mosrite Combo, I see the model 1 in just regular Candy Red or Sunburst going for 750 to 1100 all the time. Let me know what you guys think

[khai123]

Nothing? I'm not asking for offers, I'm just asking if you think the value is equal to suggest that. It's a Ventures Mark 1 copy in excellent shape. Any opinions would be great

[GattonFan]

IMHO, as an owner of both, I would sy "No" to a straight up trade. The C60 is a better guitar.

Well then, what would be the value of this guitar in a selling situation? I'm trying to save up for a Rickenbacker 330 or 360 and since these are never available I don't know what they're worth in all honesty

This one was listed in our forum Classified section a few years ago. Might give you an idea.

Thanks, mine has the complete tremolo, upgraded tuners (vintage Klusons), actual Vtg Mosrite knobs, and a lot of other actual mosrite parts I was given as well, with a hardshell, I don't think that 850 or 900 would be out of order to ask for

Was in at Tym guitars the other day and he had a avenger for 1500 aud so don't think you are too far off with 850 is but that is my very limited opinion I would not base a sale or purchase on it

Does Tym still have a website for all of his Mosrites? I haven't seen it in years.

Seems like they have been selling for less than $800 on eBay and similar sites. There is one for $850 OBO on eBay now with no offers. I thought about shooting a lowball offer but I heard the quality can be spotty and figured it wasn't worth the hassle.

Still some info on Tyms website but nothing like I think it must have been based on what you find in google searches
