It has been used not only in surf music but also in punk rock, and 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 acquired a phantom single-color red sparkle vintage Mosrite manufactured in 1965, of which not a single example can be confirmed 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 instrument made by Semie Moseley himself. Since the finish under the neck is also red sparkle, we can determine that this color is original rather than a refinish. The fingerboard end bears the stamp \"3085,\" and remarkably, the body top features what appears to be the signature of Takeishi Takeshi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt features the top jack configuration that became standard from 1964. The headstock features a small \"Ventures Model\" logo. Additionally, it bears the \"mosrite of california\" logo on the pickup cover that began in 1965, and the knobs feature an \"M\" mark. The tremolo is marked \"Moseley.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nWith its slim neck, narrow metal nut, and 0 fret—all familiar specs—this is an instrument where you can truly feel the excellence of Mosrite. The pickups feature high output, delivering a powerful, distinctive Mosrite sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong \"sparkle\" colors from around 1965, most feature a fade from a center tone close to gold or orange to a darker red sparkle on the outside. 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 processing,\" making this a valuable instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDon't miss this unprecedented opportunity and stroke of luck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Accessories】Hard case only (Handle is detached and the condition is inconvenient for transport—a characteristic of vintage instruments. There are no issues with storage or opening.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Appearance \u0026amp; Condition】Vintage wear including scratches, dull and dented parts, chipping on the top, and surface scratches are present. The dot inlays on the fingerboard at the 19th and 21st frets are missing. There is a dent on the body edge that has been repaired with what appears to be red paint. All parts and wiring are believed to be original, though some may have been replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Truss Rod】Good clearance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Frets】Approximately 40% (Believed to be original and 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 buzzing, dead spots, or other issues that significantly affect playability are observed, we will always note them.
