Ricky Wilson, B52s. He was listed previously as a notable user of Mosrites, but was deleted along with many others for not being references.

I worked at the Mosrite Factory in Bakersield, California from August 1977 to January, 1978; during this time period many guitars were being made, about 50 ventures models a month being shipped to Japan. Also made during this time period were the famous Brass rail guitars. Richard Travis
Kurt Cobain's Mosrite[edit]
I do not think this section quoted here belongs under the Mosrite History section.
'Kurt Cobain's Mosrite Gospel Guitar (one of only two 'Mark IV gospels', the other is owned by Michelle Moseley) was featured in an online auction in 2006 by Heritage Auction Galleries[1] in Dallas, TX, fetching $131,450.00'
Shouldn't this be under an 'Other information' Section? it contributes nothing to the Mosrite history section, It is just a particular rare Mosrite guitar that sold for over 100 grand. The sale of the guitar has nothing to do with Mosrite's history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.21.31.201 (talk) 03:43, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Besides this, there's so much questioned about the statement:
1: 'Gospel' was a name Mosrite occasionally used; to 1: give away guitars to churches and to 2: use a different name until they got their name back from bankruptcy in the late 60s. Kurt's guitar likely falls under this.
2: The name. Where did the 'Mark IV' name come from? NOBODY I've heard of in the Mosrite community calls this guitar a 'Mark IV' except in a self-fulfiling prophecy loop that started in the Nirvana communities. There's no official nomeclature calling it a Mark IV, the guitar was a Mark V before it got the Gospel name and it should be referenced as a Mark V unless there's official word on it; however, Semie Moseley died in 1992 so he can't answer our questions about it.
3: The number of supposed 'Gospel Mark IVs' in existence. Kurt had one (a Sunburst one,) true, but the other one he had was a regular 1966-69 Mosrite Mark V and that one was Blue. I've heard there are are more than 2 in existence and their serial numbers are very high in the Mark V run (Cobain's is B1697, the highest I've seen is B1700.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.88.142.41 (talk) 04:55, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
Ventures Model Design[edit]
I spoke with Semie Moseley in 1985 by telephone. He told me that he 'designed' the shape of the body by setting a Fender Stratocaster face-down on paper, and traced the body outline. The notched head, zero-fret, and Bigsby tailpiece were arguably considered innovative during the early- to mid-60s. The cast vibrato tail pieces changed several times during 1960s production. Some said 'Bigsby', some 'Moseley', and others 'Mosrite of California'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.121.16.240 (talk) 08:21, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Incorrect Information[edit]
I removed the following paragraph from the page. I did not add the bracketed statement at the beginning. But the factual inconsistency needs to be resolved and I don't have the time.
[This Gospel guitar information is not correct. Semie died in 1992.] Semie was a very accomplished Gospel musician, often earning significant amounts, which he sometimes used to keep his guitar company afloat. During a trip to a musical instrument convention in Europe, Semie was inspired by a Spanish luthier who was constructing fine guitars, utilizing violin joints. Since Semie believed that all Gospel musicians should have the very best instruments, he decided in 1995 to build Gospel guitars in that joint style. As he perfected the method, he was able to build two perfect Gospel prototypes. One was all natural - no color added at all - and had the term 'GOSPEL' on the headstock, with a cross, which was all positioned to read properly in the playing position. The other Gospel prototype was transparent blue body with a natural neck. These fine, hand-made instruments were made with violin joints and, while they somewhat resembled the 'Celebrity' model, they were unique unto themselves. Semie gave the all natural 'Gospel' to his partner Reverend Boatwright and took the other as his personal instrument, out on Gospel tour. The Reverend was attacked out in front of his church in Watts, the blonde guitar smashed, and the Reverend was killed. The only surviving Gospel guitar from those first two prototypes is Semie Moseley's 'Blue Gospel Guitar', which bears the serial number: GA 009. [1] That 'Blue Gospel Guitar', and the unfortunate death of his partner, drove Semie to try production of other Gospel instruments, several times, later in his career, but without much success. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrMelonhead (talk • contribs) 08:21, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Mosrite Ventures model
Mosrite Mark V Guitar
Mosrite is an Americanguitar manufacturing company, based in Bakersfield, California, from the late 1950s to the early 1990s. Founded by Semie Moseley, Mosrite guitars were played by many rock and roll and country artists.
Mosrite Of California Serial Numbers Online
Mosrite guitars were known for innovative design, high-quality engineering, very thin, low-fretted and narrow necks, and extremely hot (high output) pickups. Moseley's design for The Ventures, known as the 'Ventures Model' (later known as the 'Mark I'), was generally considered to be the flagship of the line.

History[edit]
Apprenticeship[edit]
In Bakersfield, Semie Moseley started playing guitar in an evangelical group at age 13.[1] Semie and his brother Andy experimented with guitars from their teen-age years, refinishing instruments and building new necks.[2]

Semie Moseley began building guitars in the Los Angeles area around 1952 or 1953. He began by apprenticing at the Rickenbacker factory, where he learned much of his guitar making skills from Roger Rossmeisl, a German immigrant who brought old-world luthier techniques into the modern electric guitar manufacturing process. One of the most recognizable features on most Mosrite guitars is the 'German Carve' on the top that Moseley learned from Rossmeisl. During the same time, Moseley apprenticed with Paul Bigsby in Downey, California, the man who made the first modern solid-body guitar for Merle Travis in 1948, and who invented the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, which is still used today.
Mosrite founded[edit]
Joe Maphis's double-neck by Mosrite
In 1954, Semie built a triple-neck guitar in his garage (the longest neck was a standard guitar, the second-longest neck an octave higher, the shortest was an eight-string mandolin). He presented a double-neck to Joe Maphis, a Los Angeles-area TV performer. By 1956, with an investment from Ray Boatwright, a local Los Angeles minister, Semie and Andy started their company, Mosrite of California. In gratitude to Boatwright, Moseley named the company by combining his and Boatwright's last names; the name is properly pronounced MOZE-rite, based on the pronunciation Semie Moseley used for his own name.[3] Semie, who built guitars for the L.A.-based Rickenbacker company, said to his co-workers that he was making his own product, and he was fired by Rickenbacker.[2]
When they began, their production was all custom, handmade guitars, built in garages, tin storage sheds, wherever the Moseleys could put equipment.[2]
In 1959, Andy moved to Nashville, Tennessee, for a year to popularize the Mosrite name and sold a few, including to Grand Ole Opry entertainers and road musicians. Andy said: 'And that’s how we kept the factory going at the time: custom guitars'.[2]
Moseley made guitars in Los Angeles until 1959, when he moved to Oildale, California, just north of Bakersfield.
In 1962, he moved his shop to Panama Lane where he designed and produced the first Joe Maphis model guitars, one model of which would eventually evolve into the 'Ventures model' guitar and bass (Joe Maphis would later get a model of his own, similar to a Mosrite Combo model but without the F-hole). At this time, Mosrite made everything in-house, except for the tuners.[4]
Mosrite pickups after the 50s usually came in several ways through Mosrite's history, none with metal casing; 1: the large single coil similar to (but not the same as) a P90, 2: a cheaper version of the first pickup that showed on cheaper models (Celebrity III, Mark V,) 3: a cheaper strat-width pickup only found on the first iteration of the Ventures II and 4: a Mosrite Humbucker mostly found on some 1970s models.
The full 'The Ventures' line consisted of the Mark I, Ventures II (of several versions,) Mark V, Mark X (bass) and Mark XII (12 string). 'The Ventures' line started in 1963 and ran through 1967 when the licensing agreement with The Ventures ended.
At the peak of production, in 1968, Mosrite was making around 600 guitars per month.[3]

Bankruptcy and restart[edit]
Mosrite of California went bankrupt in late 1968 after they contracted with the Thomas Organ Company to market their guitars. After this, they tried to deal directly with stores, and they sold 280 guitars in 1969 before they came to the shop one day and found their doors pad-locked.[2] Two years after his bankruptcy, Semie was able to get back the Mosrite name, and in 1970 he started making guitars again in Pumpkin Center near Bakersfield. He moved his factory three times in the next 20 years, to Oklahoma City in the mid-1970s, to the township of Jonas Ridge, in Burke County, North Carolina, in 1981 (where a factory fire destroyed the operation), and to Leachville, Arkansas, in 1991.[2] Only one guitar was produced in Leachville and is now on display at the town's Melody Theater.
Though an acknowledged genius at guitar design and construction, Moseley lacked many basic skills necessary to be a good businessman, and thus the company fell on hard times repeatedly in the late 1960s and 1970s, but continued to produce Mosrite guitars until 1993 in North Carolina and Arkansas. Most of them were exported to Japan, where their popularity remained very strong. The quality of the instruments always remained very respectable. Semie Moseley died in 1992. His wife Loretta continued to produce Mosrites a year or so after his death, and since 2008 has been selling custom Mosrites via their website.
The company now has recently[when?] released the Semie Moseley Model ’63 and ’65, based on the Ventures models made in those two years. Both models are made to the exact specifications as the original models; they are 100 % hand-made and were created to commemorate Semie Moseley.
Semie's daughter, Dana Moseley, is also a luthier and continues to build Mosrite guitars.[5] She also helps kick off the monthly 'Mosrite Jam' in Bakersfield.[6]
List of models[edit]
Note that there are exceptions to this list of models where perhaps a 1960s model has white paint for the headstock logos or a 1970s 360 model has a basswood body and maple neck instead of a mahogany body and mahogany neck. Mosrite is a company where outliers aren't unheard of.
Mosrite also used other names occasionally; 'Gospel' was often a name associated with guitars given away to churches although it was also used during Mosrite's bankruptcy period when they didn't have their Mosrite name (1969-1970,) Semie also used his last name 'Moseley' for guitars built during the same period.
1950s[edit]
- One double neck guitar built for Joe Maphis,
- A triple-neck guitar built for Semie Moseley personally,
1960s[edit]
- Joe Maphis model — Same general body shape as the later Ventures model; This was to be Joe Maphis' model before Semie Moseley and The Ventures settled on a contract and the body shape became the Ventures model. This is not the same as the later Joe Maphis model which is similar to the Combo model.
- The Ventures Model — Also came as a bass and later on, A 12-string. Post Ventures, 1968 and 1969 it was named the 'Mark I'.
The first Ventures Models came with a set neck, bound body and a large Ventures and Mosrite logo, less than 250 of these were made before settling on the standard Ventures Model sometime in 1964, without body binding and the neck became bolt on. The Mosrite logo and Ventures model logo were slightly reduced. - Ventures Bass (AKA 'Mark X')
- Mark XII Twelve-String Guitar — Most of these have stoptails although some have tremolos.
- The Ventures II ('Slab Body' Type) Model — Only built as a six-string guitar in 1965. Production started in Mid-1965 and ended several months later with small production numbers. The Slab Body was replaced with the second Ventures II design, reportedly because Semie Moseley was disappointed in this original design, thinking it looked too cheap for Mosrite. This is the model that Johnny Ramone of the Ramones was mostly known to play.
- The Ventures II (German Carve Body Type) Model — Replaced the earlier Ventures II; Same body design as the Mark V model. Only came as a six-string guitar. Some of these, mostly earlier models with a few exceptions, have longer pickguards than later models; the neck pickup on the long pickguard models is slightly farther from the bridge, possibly to utilize older shorter Ventures II 'Slab Body' necks. Re-named the 'Ventures Mark V' in 1966.
- Joe Maphis models — These are similar in body shape to the later Combo model without F-holes and are painted in a natural finish. Came as:
- Mark I Six-String Guitar
- Mark X Bass
- Mark XII Twelve-String Guitar
- Joe Maphis Dual Neck model— Two-necked guitar based on the Ventures model. Has 6 string and 12 string necks. Variants may exist.
- The Ventures Mark V Model — Later just named 'Mark V' after the Ventures contract ended in 1967/1968. Only sold as a six-string guitar commercially though bass prototypes were made. A battered Ink Blue version of this model was used by the B-52s' Ricky Wilson with only four strings and a custom tuning for some of their distinctive sound and was featured on the inner sleeve of their debut 'yellow' album.
- Celebrity I, Celebrity II and Celebrity III Hollow-Body Guitars — came as:
- Mark I Six-String Guitar
- Mark X Bass
- Mark XII Twelve-String Guitar
- Combo Semi-Hollow Body Guitar; came as:
- Mark I Six-String Guitar
- Mark X Bass
- Mark XII Twelve-String Guitar
Acoustic Guitars:
- Balladere 6-String Guitar.
- Serenade 6-String Guitar.
1970s[edit]
Unlike 1960s models, the 1970s marked a departure from the skinny necks; Mosrite didn't always make thin necks in the 70s.
- 300 (Telecaster-Style Body Shape, One pickup in the neck position, no German Carve) — Came as both six-string guitar and four-string bass. Came with Mosrite Humbucker Pickups. Mahogany Body and Mahogany Neck.
- 350 (Telecaster-Style Body Shape, Two pickups, no German Carve) — Came in both 'Stereo' for two output jacks and 'Mono' for one output jack. Came as six-string guitar and four-string bass. Mostly came with Mosrite Humbucker Pickups though some may exist with Mosrite single coils. Mahogany Body and Mahogany Neck, mostly (with at least one exception.)
- Blues Bender — Six-String Guitar similar in shape to a Gibson Les Paul but with typical Mosrite features; German Carve, Basswood body, Maple neck and Rosewood fretboard. Unlike 1960s Mosrite models, this model has a wider neck then 60s Mosrites and features Mosrite Humbucker pickups not found on stock 60s models.
- Celebrity — Mosrite continued production of the Celebrity models into the 70s with Mosrite Humbucker pickups.
- Mark I — Similar design of guitar as the Ventures models, minus the Ventures logo.
- Mark X — Ventures bass minus the Ventures logo.
- V2 or V II — Same body style as a Mark I or Ventures model but with Mosrite Humbuckers and more electronics.
- S.M. (Semie Moseley) Model — Six-String Guitar similar in shape to the Blues Bender and Brass Rail models. 84 or fewer are estimated to have been built and these do not have a German Carve.
- Brass Rail — Six-String Guitar similar in body shape to a Gibson Les Paul with frets attached to a brass rod in the neck for sustain. Has a German Carve.
- Brass Rail Deluxe — Came with passive and active circuits and two output jacks. Has a German Carve.
An estimate of 100 Brass Rail models are estimated to have been built with the Deluxe models being scarcer, an estimate of 12 being built.
- Acoustic Black Widow (Electric 6 String Guitar) — Some were built by Mosrite.
- Sooner model (Electric 6 String Guitar) — Although not under the Mosrite name, these are associated with Mosrite.
1980s[edit]
This era mostly consisted of Ventures reissues and Ventures shaped models including but not limited to:
- M88
- V88
- V63
1963 Ventures Model Reissue with a bound body and neck, output jack on the side and vibramute.
1990s[edit]
- The Nokie Model — Nokie Edwards Model; Similar to the Ventures model and with smooth pickup covers.
- The Ramones Model — Ramones Model; Similar to the 1960s Ventures model. Seen in the Ramones' 'I Don't Want To Grow Up' Music Video. Has a 'Sharkfin' Pickguard, stop tailpiece and one bridge pickup. Few of these were built.
