Ricky Wilson, B52s. He was listed previously as a notable user of Mosrites, but was deleted along with many others for not being references. Note video of "Private Idaho" with Ricky Wilson clearly playing a Mosrite. http://themusicsover.com/2009/10/12/ricky-wilson-the-b-52s/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geauxwiki (talk • contribs) 04:08, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Kurt Cobain's Mosrite

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)[reply]

Ventures Model Design

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".
