Hi, I don't know if I'm doing this right but here goes. I have a 1965 Mosrite Ventures Model. Ser#2547. I bought it in 1967. Someone had painted it all over with black light paint. In 1969 I painted it metallic blue with left over paint from my motorcycle. Now I'm trying to put it back to the original Pearl White, so I have been searching around the internet for as much help as I can find. Except for the paint its all original except for one tuning key that was replaced early 70s. Have the case too. I also have a vintage Les Paul, Melody Maker, Flying V, Rickenbacker 2001 Bass, Martin D35, & Gianni Classical. I'm in Boca Raton, Fl
I played professionally 1960"s thru 1980.
