Duplication of Serial Number
If you find Serial Number Duplication, please do not worry about and believe the both are Mosrite. Every Mosrite is "Built-in-Soul"!!!
When I met Semie Moseley in 1991, he said "I don't like to examine if Vintage Mosrite or not. My examination would hurt someone. If someone is happy with his Mosrite whatever his Mosrite is, I am also very happy to see such a guy and I don't care his Mosrite is vintage or not."
To get full information, I put the information from X-Owners to this list. So the serial number duplication would be seen sometime.
(Japanese) シリアルナンバーの重複
シリアルナンバーがときどき重複していることがあるようです。どれもモズライトに違いはないのだとお考え下さい。 いずれのモズライトも"Built-in-Soul"です!!!。
1991年にセミー・モズレーに会う機会がありました。その時セミーは次のように語りました。「モズライトのビンテージ鑑定をやるのは好きではない。鑑定の結果、誰かが傷ついてしまうかもしれないから。そのモズライトがなんであれ、持っている人が満足していればそれでよいのではないか。私はそのような人を見るのが嬉しい。だからそのモズライトがビンテージ品かどうかは気にしない。」
また、出来る限り多くの情報を集めるべく、本リストには、前オーナ(X-Owner)からの情報も掲載することにしました。したがって、シリアルナンバーの重複があり得ます。

It has Mosrite volume/tone control caps that are taller than those I've seen on other Mosrites. I believe that the tuners may be changed (The heads have 6-sided knobs).

Burbank,K | 98-12 | The shape is Mark-V but the headstock log is "Ventures II Model". Mark-V was made in 1967, my Mosrite was made in December 1965 and was called a Ventrues II. The date stamped on the back of the neck is Dec 19, 1965. I heard from another Mosrite fan that in 1965, the Mark V and the Mosrite Ventures II were almost exactly the same except for the name and the date they were made. The older Ventures-II had a flat body. This Ventures-II has an extended pickguard under the top pick-up unlike the Mark V that stops the pickguard 1/2 way. I don't know why.(K.Burbank's note) |

Blues Bender | Black | Gruggett,D | 98-12 | Made in 1969. It is black with a red tortoise shell pick guard. The scale is 1/8" shorter than the Gibson scale. After taking this picture, it has since been completely restored by my father, the master luthier Bill Gruggett, an original member of the Mosrite Guitars team. Original Mosrite parts were used from his personal stock, except for new high-quality PC-USA pickups, which I requested. |

J.Wallace added 6/28/98 as "I think the blue butttons on the v2 are by-pass buttons. Pushing one of these routes the signal around the volume and tone controls directly to the output jack thereby boosting the output of the guitar 10%. Your owners list refers to these as coil taps." |
