'66 Mosrite Ventures XII

I liked my blue Mosrite Ventures XII so much that when this sunburst model came up at a reasonable price, I had to have it. It did have a couple of issues. Two of the Kluson tuning pegs were  replaced with Grovers but I switched 'em back to Klusons. The bridge pick-up is a '65 and the neck pick-up is a '66. I was told by the seller that the bridge pickup was original equipment (Semie was not beyond using whatever old parts were around to build a guitar) and that the neck pickup was a replacement that was put in more recently. This guitar plays just as nicely and sounds as great as the blue XII. This is probably an early '66 or late '65 Ventures XII because the neck has the truss rod access at the base as opposed to the headstock.
