If one things makes death amd divorce worth it, that would be it.
Yeah, obviously my unapologetic Johnny Ramone fanboi-ness is raging with this one. I mean, that is his guitar. Not his actual guitar, but his famous white Mosrite is *that* guitar. A 1965 Ventures II. And his earlier blue one was the same thing...just blue. That is THE guitar that launched my brand of punk rock and everything that followed.

Greg, why don't you offer to collect it to save on postage. Its less than 2000 miles from Texas.
Nope. Not a chance. I don't care what it is...I'll never spend that much on a guitar. I just thought it was cool that one popped up. The Ventures II is super rare. I think 65 is the only year they existed, and even then there weren't many of them. In fact, there were so few of them, Mosrite enthusiasts created a serial number registry and most of them that still exist are accounted for. They just don't turn up anywhere. I'm sure many of them have been destroyed because they weren't anything special in their time, and whatever's left is either in some collector's collection, or forgotten in some attic somewhere.
It looks like some 12 year old kid made that in the school for the blind wood shop.
Close. They were made by a crazy christian in a home woodshop.
But I bet if it said Jackson or Charvel or Dean on the headstock you'd fucking jizz buckets over it.
Nope I don't care for any of those guitar makers. I don't understand why you are so gaga over Mosrite guitars. Does some famous punk weirdo play one of those or something? The headstock looks like someone's dog was chewing on it. It looks like Salvador Dali took a Jimi Hendrix sized dose of acid and built a guitar.
Another toy that helped destroy the elder race of man..forget about your silly whim it doesn't fit the plan.
Who cares why anyone likes anything? I think stratocasters are hideous and will question the tastes of those that rave about them as if the were created by Athena and hold the cure for cancer within its output.
