UNIVOX: HI-Flier circa 1972

Univox Hi-Flier- sunburst, solid body, two humbucking pickups, surf rock style guitar. This is an early 1970's (circa 1972), Univox Hi-Flier, solid body, electric guitar. We believe this is a Phase 2 HiFlier because of the low serial number (0108xx). The guitar is Orange Sunburst. It's a Japanese made knock-off of the Mosrites. It has a rosewood fretboard, mother of pearl inlays, double cutaway, 2 humbucking pickups, whammy bar, and Steel Adjustable Neck. It's very lightweight and thin. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

(NOTE: This guitar was stolen from us either by a sketchy Fedex driver or the person who allegedly purchased it. They claimed it never arrived and Fedex denied responsibility for it. UGH!)

Teisco - Mosrite-style solid body electric guitar - 2 pickups sunburst. This guitar is a Japanese made, 1968, Teisco V2, Mosrite Ventures-style solid body electric guitar. The neck is straight and all the electronics work properly. It's in great shape; there's a few nicks but nothing significant. It has two very strong pickups that really give a Mosrite surf sound. The neck pickup is smooth, rich and full sounding while the bridge is twangy; together in the center position they've got a thick sound with a bit raspy twang. The neck is straight and all the electronics work properly. The whammy bar works well. It appears to be all original. This guitar was definitely one of the higher end Teisco; it plays and feels amazing. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

MOSRITE: VENTURES MARK V - 1966

MOSRITE: VENTURES MARK V electric guitar. This is a rare Mosrite Ventures Mark V (Mark 5) electric guitar. It was purchased in 1968 and had been with the original owner since that time but I'd estimate it was made in 1966. The serial number on the neck is B9xx. This guitar has the tonal range you're looking for; it goes from a raspy surf sound to smooth jazz and straight up rock. The neck feels amazing and has the action set fast. This is a solid body guitar. It has the die cast Moseley tail piece which eliminated the mute mechanism that was part of the original Vibramute Ventures tailpiece. This Mark V has the "M" stamped, hat type volume and tone knobs with "T" and "V" along with the numbers 1-5 on the base portion. The neck is made from rock maple and is very thin with the infamous, very low, Mosrite "speed frets." The guitar also has the "zero-fret"; an extra fret just before the nut. The pickups are original Mosrite single coils. The guitar is in great condition except for some buckle rash on the back and some minor wear on the upper part of the neck. The neck is straight and all the electronics work properly. It is 100% original and includes the original hard-shell case. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

ACOUSTIC/MOSRITE: CELEBRITY circa 1970

(Note: we sold this long ago and the person who bought it did pull it apart and sent fotos. But, they're long gone and I don't recall their results.)

Acoustic-Mosrite Celebrity - semi-hollow body prototype electric guitar. This is an extremely rare (if not the only one) Acoustic-Mosrite Celebrity electric guitar. This is a thinline, semi-hollow body guitar done in the Mosrite Celebrity or Gibson ES335 style. The sound ranges from surf to punk rock to smooth and mellow. All the electronics work and the neck is straight. The screws in the bridge had to be replaced because they wouldn't turn to adjust the intonation but the originals are in the case. The guitar has a basic chip-core case but will be packed well for shipping. It was just set up with some seriously fast action! So it's ready to jam!

This guitar is actually a bit of a mystery. It has an Acoustic logo on the headstock like they used on the Black Widows but the body is a Mosrite Celebrity from the late 1960's or early 1970s. The logo appears to be screen printed and not a sticker. The neck is definitely a Mosrite because of the zero fret, rounded nut, and thick headstock that's recessed below the fret board. It appears to be one of The Ventures model's necks.

It seems like a prototype that Semi Moseley put together before he designed the Black Widows for Acoustic. So that would make it a joint effort between Mosrite and Acoustic. Acoustic at the time was producing amplifiers so this may have been their first foray into guitar manufacturing. Another possibility is it was assembled from leftover parts from the Mosrite factory and residual arrangement with Semi Mosley to build Acoustic Black Widows. What's your guess?

ACOUSTIC/MOSRITE: CELEBRITY circa 1970 (Note: we sold this long ago and the person who bought it did pull it apart and sent fotos. But, they're long gone and I don't recall their results.) Acoustic-Mosrite Celebrity - semi-hollow body prototype electric guitar. This is an extremely rare (if not the only one) Acoustic-Mosrite Celebrity electric guitar. This is a thinline, semi-hollow body guitar done in the Mosrite Celebrity or Gibson ES335 style. The sound ranges from surf to punk rock to smooth and mellow. All the electronics work and the neck is straight. The screws in the bridge had to be replaced because they wouldn't turn to adjust the intonation but the originals are in the case. The guitar has a basic chip-core case but will be packed well for shipping. It was just set up with some seriously fast action! So it's ready to jam! This guitar is actually a bit of a mystery. It has an Acoustic logo on the headstock like they used on the Black Widows but the body is a Mosrite Celebrity from the late 1960's or early 1970s. The logo appears to be screen printed and not a sticker. The neck is definitely a Mosrite because of the zero fret, rounded nut, and thick headstock that's recessed below the fret board. It appears to be one of The Ventures model's necks. It seems like a prototype that Semi Moseley put together before he designed the Black Widows for Acoustic. So that would make it a joint effort between Mosrite and Acoustic. Acoustic at the time was producing amplifiers so this may have been their first foray into guitar manufacturing. Another possibility is it was assembled from leftover parts from the Mosrite factory and residual arrangement with Semi Mosley to build Acoustic Black Widows. What's your guess?

ACOUSTIC/MOSRITE CELEBRITY - 2pu black, semihollow body guitar, California, 1970. Sold.

One-off hybrid, mash-up, or a tinkerer with Acoustic & Mosrite parts stock. A mystery, but clearly a WeirdGuitar.

Redirecting...

Another stolen 1960's guitar story that at least has a happy ending. Also a connection to famous Bakersfield guitar builder, Semie Mosrite.
