Up for sale, a 1990s Mosrite Ventures Model ‘Sidejack’ ‘63 Reissue in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with its original hardshell case. A premium Kurokumo-made Mosrite produced within Japan and rarely seen outside its country of origin, this top-tier model replicates the Ventures Model's earliest features with set neck construction, output jack located on the side of the body, and multi-ply binding framing the German Carve top.

Weighing 8lbs 2oz, tonewoods include a basswood body, maple neck, and bound slab rosewood fingerboard, yielding a smooth and balanced acoustic tone. These tonewoods provide an ideal platform for the single-coil pickup pair which offers plenty of power, percussive cut, and sparkling treble. Both pickups are more conservatively wound than the vintage USA-made models delivering the authoritative treble zing and cut that is quintessential Mosrite. This reissue Mosrite ‘63 Sidejack has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
