Used not only in surf music but also in punk rock, it has been favored by numerous guitarists including The Ventures, The Ramones, Takeishi Takeshi, and Kayama Yuzo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis time, we have received a rare vintage Mosrite in a solid red sparkle color manufactured in 1965—a phantom color that cannot be found even once in the current used market. The weight is 3.95kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck pocket bears the stamp \"1965 DEC 17,\" confirming this as an authentic Semie Moseley creation. Since the paint inside the neck pocket is also red sparkle, we can determine that this is the original color rather than a refinish. The fretboard end bears the stamp \"3085,\" and remarkably, the body top features what appears to be a signature from Takeishi Takeshi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt features the top jack that became standard from 1964 onward. The headstock bears a small \"Ventures Model\" logo. It also features the \"mosrite of california\" logo pickup covers that began in 1965, and knobs marked with an \"M.\" The tremolo is inscribed with \"Moseley.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nWith its familiar specs—slim neck, narrow metal nut, and 0 fret—this is a guitar that lets you experience the best qualities of Mosrite. The pickups are high-output, delivering powerful and distinctive Mosrite sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAround 1965, \"sparkle\" colors typically featured a center tone close to gold or orange with the outer edges fading into dark red sparkle. A solid red sparkle color from the golden era is extremely rare. There is also a theory that \"some sparkle color examples were shipped without burst treatment,\" making this a valuable instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDon't miss this unprecedented opportunity and stroke of fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Accessories】Hard case only (handle is missing; condition is inconvenient for transportation—characteristic of vintage instruments. No issues for storage or opening)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Appearance \u0026amp; Condition】Vintage wear including scratches, dull or dented parts, worn spots on the top, and fine scratches are present. The 19F and 21F dot inlays on the fretboard are missing. There is denting on the body edge that has been touched up with what appears to be red paint. Parts and wiring are believed to be all original, though some may have been replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Truss Rod】Slack available\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Frets】Approximately 40% (believed to be original, so left as-is)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Neck】Straight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Nut Width】Approximately 40mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e・If any buzzing, fret sprout, or other issues that significantly hinder playability are present, they will always be noted.
