How about a #MosriteMonday for a change? π . This is my buddy @marcus_addam_w's 1986/7 #Mosrite #Ventures model, spotted on my visit to @sherwoodkw on the weekend. . This #guitar was handmade by Semie Moseley in 1986/87 and is hand signed by him on the back of the heafstock (swipe left - unfortunately he signed in what looks to be pencil, so its very faint. But it says "Semie Moseley 987", with 987 presumably being Mosrite shorthand for 1987! π) Dig the top carve (no doubt a stylistic cue Mosely borrowed from his tenure building guitars for #Rickenbacker in the 50s?) and fun double dot markers. I feel like plugging it in to a blonde #Fender piggyback amp, tipped back on its extendable legs, and basting "Wipeout" with two other guys wearing similar outfits, playing similar #guitars into similar #amps, lined up side by side on a Japanese stage circa 1966! . Also, I believe this guitar has the distinction of being the first Mosrite I've ever done in the almost 7 years I've been on Instagram. I may be mistaken though...so if anyone feels like scrolling back through my almost 8,000 posts to prove me wrong you are very welcome to do so! π . . #mosriteventures #mosriteguitars #semiemoseley #vintageguitars #vintagemoserite #surfguitar #theventures #guitarphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CFHVm3OhJta/?igshid=4fadabkg2ifv
