New from Arizona

[azbandit]

I live in the mountains of Arizona and found this forum while researching information about my Mosrite. I have owned this guitar for 45 or 46 years. Bought it in the Mid 60's and must admit I cant pin point the year but pretty sure it was in 1963 or 1964. My friend bought one first and I had to have one too. Walked into the store and there it was....red just like the one on the Ventures album. In fact I still have the album and cover...Walk dont Run Volume 2. This is a great guitar and unfortunatly I dont do it justice as I haven't really played it much for a long time but Ive decided to get it out and start playing again. I really do love this guitar. I will give you more information on the guitar itself after I finish going thru the info about the different models you talk about here on the site. Have a great day....Blaine

Welcome to the forum, Blaine. A candy apple red (or possibly strawberry red?) '63 you say? Neat-o.

Welcome Blaine, perhaps you can show us a picture of your guitar one day

Sounds like a real beauty. That album cover captivated me when I first picked it up. I must admit, I wasn't a Ventures fan until my 20's so this album was a few years old when I saw it. Not too old but not new. Great guitar man. I've played a few at shops and what not. Wish I could get one.
