ELECTRIC: VENTURES SERIES

In the early 1960s, Semie Moseley entered into an agreement with the Ventures organization to build the Ventures model guitar. Ventures model guitars built between 1959 and 1964 have a Mosrite of California logo and "The Ventures Model" on the headstock. After the business agreement with the Ventures faltered, Mosrite produced a MARK model (and variants) that were Ventures-style models without the "Ventures" logo or affiliation mentioned.
