Here is one site I found with almost the exact same guitar in Japan Note that not all Firstman Mosrite’s have this it seems. This is consistent with Firstman having something similar. The two screw holes above the nut, I now believe is a truss rod cover or plate that is missing. I’ve seen a couple of Japanese sites with near as I can the tell the exact same guitar. Mosrite Ventures Model MIJ Japan Head Mosrite Ventures Model MIJ Japan Body Mosrite Ventures Model MIJ Japan BridgeĪfter quite a bit of research, I’m starting to believe this is a Firstman Mosrite Ventures model. Note I did play the guitar and it sounds and feels great to my ears. I’m new to Mostrite related guitars and find this particular model quite fascinating. Also, I noticed the two knobs do not have a Mosrite letter “M” that I’ve seen on most of the Mosrite guitars of value.Īny ideas on whether this guitar might be any good? The price tag on it is a straight up $500 bucks. Oh, actually the bolt on black plate does say “Made in Japan” but that’s it. They sell lots of other stuff besides guitars, so it’s very possible the staff has no idea what sort of guitar this is. The Sales clerk had no idea the origin of the guitar. In Japanese the info/price tag which is turned around says Fillmore Mosrite in Japanese, but I’m not sure how accurate that is. I collect old Japanese vintage guitars like Greco for example and can tell this guitar has been used and is probably older than the year 2000. The Head Logo is missing “California” or anything related to that, so I’m guessing it’s made in Japan. There are also a couple of small holes above the nut that probably had a custom tremelo retainer but I don’t think that would be stock. The guitar is missing the arm unfortunately. It also includes a hard case with a small button sized “Mosrite” logo on it. Everything hardware on the guitar is labeled “Mosrite”. I attached three photos I took quickly with my phone. I recently saw a Mosrite type guitar in a second hand shop near where I live, but couldn’t quite I.D.
