Mosrite
Ventures II / Mark V
1965 - 69
Data base — a collection of Mosrite Ventures II / Mark V serial numbers and years
The Mosrite Ventures II / Mark V database – a collection of serial numbers of Mosrite’s cheapest electric guitar to date yours. The guitar Johnny Ramone has used as his main guitar his entire Ramones career from 1974 to 1996.
Originally designed in early 1965 as a student model (allegedly by Andy Moseley) with a slab body, full size pickguard and unique pickups and vibrato, a few months later changed to a more elaborate model with German carve, Moseley vibrato and bigger pickups.
The “—” in the tables means that I don’t have the data, not that there is not such data.
Please note: All information here is the autor’s belief. The estimated numbers of made exemplars are a rough guess. All information is without engagement, no responsibility is taken for the correctness of this information.
If you have more information about serial number and model and year or have pictures of your Mosrite that you’d allow me to publish here, please tell me at max@hang10.de.

Mosrite Ventures II — slab body
B001–B149
approx made: 150
May–August 1965
There are two different runs; changes in generation 2:
body:
- body’s neck joint thicker and shorter
- slightly different body shape
neck:
- neck-thickness at body joint; joint area shorter, too
- fretboard way thicker (maple thinner)
hardware:
- vibrato unit’s top part changed from flat to arched (rolled edge)
- vibrato unit’s base plate’s spring bump positioned more in direction of the bridge (better spring angle)
- ½ round string guide changed to ¼ round
- pickups’ backs not with foam and clear (yellow) epoxy but without foam fully closed with black epoxy
- pickups’ DC resistance ~6.7 kΩ instead of ~12.3 kΩ
- thinner neck plate
Sometimes generation 2 slabs have generation 1 parts, e.g. a gen. 1 body or a gen. 1 vibrato top on a gen. 2 vibrato base.
According to a Japanese website Don Wilson has played a slab Ventures II in summer 1965 at Shinjuku Welfare Pension Hall as backup and again in 1967. Allegedly Nokie Edwards has had a slab Ventures II as backup, too. Difference to the regular run of slab bodied Ventures IIs is the binding on the fretboard and a little longer headstock, probably not prototypes but custom made or simply a version between generation 1 and 2.
Early copies sometimes have a thicker neck heel while the body is exactly the same as that of the regular generation 1 models. B002, B006, Johnny Ramone’s blue and Sunburst, B017, B022 and B033 have that thick neck heel, I can’t tell for the guitars in between; B021 has the regular generation 1 neck heel.
The first batch has pots made in the third week of May 1965. The second batch has second and fourth week of July 1965 pots (even up to third week of August ’65) and body and neck have been made July 29–August 2, 1965 (August 1 was a Sunday), so batch one’s body and neck should have been made in late May, early June 1965. Ink stamping the dates on body and neck started July 10, 1965.

Great info there: "The body was originally finished Red and repainted White at the Mosrite factory to fill our order of a Ventures II in White. Around the interior edges, under the pickguard, in the neck pocket, under the bridge, you can still see some of the Red peeking through the factory White finish. (…) Studying the finish up close, you can see where the finish was very hurried. It is thick in some places, and buffed shiny in some spots on the shoulders while an eggshell finish everywhere else."

| B072 | white | — | — | generation 0, owned by Eiji Shima (Yuzo Kayama, The Wild Ones). Neck with binding and long headstock (like the so called “Don Wilson prototype #2”), vibrato changed to Moseley, back signed by The Ventures in 1969, front signed by Yuzo Kayama and Kunihiko Kase in 1992. Pictured on the cover of a Japanese 1983 Ventures promo for “Walk don’t run” – thanks to Vincent for showing me!!! This is the guitar on the poster for The Ventures “Beloved Invaders” movie – a good picture of this poster can be found here at sfomuseum.org and it seems both photos are just the same picture. Good pictures can be found in the Japanese book “Guitar Graphic Vol. 2”, p. 101 – here’s a sample: Vintage Guitar Books Rittor Music: Guitar Graphic Vol 2, Fender Strat 40th Anniversary 0ct 1996 RARE. I finally got a copy of that book, now I’m sure it is B072. |
| B076 (?) | white (ref.) | Aug 2 1965 | — | generation 2, owned by J.H. who bought it pawn shop in Arizona around 1978. Tuners swapped for Grovers, pickups changed to humbuckers. Serial number hard to read, but B076 seems to be the best guess (B07x is sure, could be 070 or 078 or 079, too). Thanks to A.C. for all the info and the pictures! |
| B077 (?) | red | — | — | generation 2, eBay Nov 2014 for a BIN of 1500 USD (!): Mosrite Ventures 2, 6 String. I think I can read something like B077 … And I know that this is not the first underpriced eBay-BIN slab I’ve missed ;) |

| B003 (?) | red | Jul 1965 | Jul 1965 | generation 2, Grover tuners, changed tailpiece to fixed 1988 Moseley, owned by R.E., pic here: Mosrite Ventures Model Owners List. Serial number and date stamps according to owner — the s/n is probably B083 (my guess) or perhaps B063. |
| B000xx | white | Jul x1 1965 002 | xx xxx 1965 001 | generation 2 with flat tremolo top and roller bridge, ad here at guitartraders-tokyo.com in March 2016. I just can’t read the serial number, but it looks like B000xx. A little hacked inside and the pickguard is 3 ply, so maybe not original. Pot dates: 6533 (3rd week of August ’65), stamps are hard/impossible to read. |
| B09x | white | — | — | generation 2 with flat tremolo-top, owned by T.O., found here: |
| B097 | Pearl White | Aug 2 1965 042 | Jul 30 1965 015 | generation 2 with flat tremolo-top and roller bridge (maybe the guitar above), pots 1346527 (Centrallab, 2nd week of July ’65).

Thanks to P.W. and F.H. for that info! |
| B121 (?) | red | — | — | generation 2 but ½ round string guide. Here’s what the owner told me about its serial number: “The serail number on the red one appears to be B 21. It could also be B2 but there appears to be a 1 to the right. not real pronounced but it could be.” Now that the white B021 has appeared it seems this guitar’s serial number may rather be B121 – the bodyshape and fretboard do actually look more like that of a later (about B080 upwards) example. Refined body and headstock, vibrato top piece re-attached, owned by D.G., pix here: the collection | Facebook. |

Mosrite Ventures II slab body – unknown serial number
| s/n | color | neck-date | body-date | note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | blue | — | — | Johnny Ramone’s, generation 1, bought January 23/24 1974 at Manny’s for USD 69.55. Original in 1974 except for bridge (Gibson/Schaller harmonica bridge – maybe this is a very early Ventures II that had a ’63 mutebridge like B002), later changed to fixed Gibson tailpiece through orig. chrome plate—stolen Oct. 22, 1977 (Chicago). |
| — | Sunburst | — | — | Johnny Ramone’s, generation 1, fixed tailpiece with chrome plate, black P90-style PU in bridge-position, black plastic knobs—early backup guitar that appeared around late 1975—I guess it was stolen with the blue Ventures II. |
| worn off/lost in refret | white | — | — | Johnny Ramone’s, generation 1, refinished back in 1977 (white over original white?), many changes over the years, never seen with original vibrato, always Gibson-style tailpiece, original holes closed, refretted (Jumbos), DiMarzio FS-1 1980, Seymour Duncan mini humbucker 1983. It appeared right after the blue Ventures II was stolen in the night October 22nd/23rd, 1977 As of August 2021 this very guitar is auctioned at RR Auctions: Johnny Ramone’s Stage-Used and Owned Mosrite Ventures II Guitar starting at 25,000 USD… Finally sold for USD 937,500. |
| no real Mosrite | black, neck black | no real Mosrite | no real Mosrite | Johnny Ramone’s, one pickup (single coil, FS-1?), Grover Rotomatic tuners, no Mosrite or Ventures logo at headstock, smaller pickguard, probably neck trough design—not a real Ventures II but something custom made (similar shape, but very thin at large beveled area, slightly different shape, less offset). Backup guitar from early 1978–1982 or 83—perhaps it was stolen in the second Ramones equipment burglary at April 24th, 1983 (after concert at Reseda Country Club). I know this guitar does not belong in this list, it’s only listed here to clarify that ;) And because I really like it ;)) |
| no s/n | Sunburst, neck Sunburst | — | — | generation 1; thread here: Artie’s new acquisition. |
| — | red | — | — | generation 1; refretted, Moseley vibrato, pix can be found in this video: R. W. Armstrong – Train Bound For Nowhere. |
| — | white | — | — | generation 1; near mint condition, yellowed, roller bridge, pickguard has only 9 (insted of 10) screws; some pictures here at the mosrite forum: Semie made Ramones Mosrite |
| — | white | — | — | generation 1 with roller bridge, here it’s called number 0001 and Nokie Edwards‘ backup guitar, but that may just stand as an example. I think I can see a slightly different shaped three ply pickguard (blk/wht/blk). The info in the link says it’s number one, but I’m not sure about the serial number. Analogue to Don Wilson’s slab Nokie Edward’s Ventures II may not have a serial number and may be the Eiji Shima Slab (see table above). |
| no s/n (or maybe lost in a refret?) | white | no date | no date | generation 0 with #2 sticker on pickguard’s back (what does not have to mean anything ;)); Adam Tober/Expat Guitars has found another one with neck binding, posted this on Facebook. Adam believes this is “one of the two slab-bodied Ventures II prototypes the Ventures used on their 1965 tour of Japan.” Here’s some older info and pictures of it being played as backup by Don Wilson. As of January 2021 it’s for sale again: Mosrite Ventures Mk 2 (11) 1964/5 Pearl White, price: USD 14.147,32 / GBP 9.799 / EUR 11.676,15 – finaly sold July 2023 for UDS 11.765,89 / GBP 8.799 / EUR 10.761,57. According to a comment here on facebook this guitar did not belong to Don Wilson – trying to find out more about Don’s Ventures II. Thanks to TT for his comment! That would mean there’s another one, Don’s. The emergence of B072 let’s me doubt that prototype theory, so my naming it “generation 0” might just be wrong, it’s probably more like gen. 1.2 ;) I guess a s/n is lost in a refret and it was B071 or B073 or something around that range. |
| worn off | black, neck black (ref?) | — | — | Some info here on facebook. 1/4 round stringguide, many slotted screws, not very pointy horns – hard to decide from the pictures whether it’s a gen 1 or gen 2. The lacquer looks original on the few pictures but it might be a black refinished sunburst. Quite bad condition with a major breaking area, missing vibrato top, bridge pickup, tuners. |
| worn off | blue | Aug 1965 | Aug 1965 | generation 2, vibrato missing, owned by I.H., pictures here: Captain Crunch Tour Photos. |
| — | white | — | — | generation 2; seems to be in Japan and is played here: 気ままな親父のベンチャーズ・バンド イースト・ベンチャーズ結成ご披露ライブ＆8月２回目のパルス（春日市）ライブ. This guitar may be B097. |
| — | blue | — | — | generation 2; picture from the 60s and discussion here on facebook, January 2024: Could anyone tell me anything about this model Mosrite?. Might already be above in the list ;) |
Mosrite Ventures II — German carve
“transition” — rounded neck heel and folded sheet vibrato
no s/n
approx made: ?
These guitars are sometimes called “transitions” because they have attributes from the early slab body models (vibrato, neck) and from the later German carve models (body, pickups, pickguard, knobs). They have no serial number.
My guess: made from factory left overs that were on auction in 1969; some parts sold by Andy Moseley years after.

Mosrite Ventures II — German carve
transition — narrow head, cut at heel, enlarged pickguard
B154–B253
approx made: 100
August–December 1965
- German carve body
- Moseley vibrato
- Mosrite of California pickups without pole pieces
- “hat type” volume and tone knobs
- pickguard all the way under neck-pickup
Enlarged pickguard to close the gap from the pu-routing (pu is put a little bit more in direction neck because of the neck’s cut end); reason may be: New body-design with german carve was ready for production with a newly shaped neck’s ending, but there were around 100 Ventures II necks left over that were used BEFORE the newly designed necks were used…

Mel-O-Bar
Slab Ventures II body with steel guitar neck
You may ask what those some kind of weird Mel-O-Bar guitars have to do with the Mosrite Ventures II guitar…
Well, while the production of the necks began around March 1966, there are two runs of the body, whereof one does not have a date stamp while the other is stamped October 1965.
The unstamped bodies (1) have a shape very close to that of the Ventures II Slab bodies, with very small pickup routings (slab pickups fit perfect, regular pickups won’t), something like a missing link between the Mark I body and the Slab.
The October 1965 bodies (2) look like the common German Carve Ventures II bodies, only without the German Carve, and are dated before the earliest German Carve bodies.
I guess these bodies used for the Mel-O-Bar have originally been some kind of prototypes, the unstamped for the Slab, the October 1965 for the German Carve Ventures II.
