Vintage Guitars for sale - Mosrite Celebrity III Guitar Original Case 1966 Sunburst - 515-864-6136 HD

Today, Lawman Guitars is Presenting.. A really wonderful and cool and beautiful 1966 Mosrite Celebrity III Semi Hollow Body guitar with the Original Hard shell Case. These guitars were made right here in the USA from 1966 thru 1968. There is some rumors that there were a few 1965’s. The earliest ones had small clay dots..like this one... The Mosrite sites list the K Series Serial numbers from K-0027 to K-2145. This one is pre K-0027 so its possible that it could be a Rare 1965. Its at least a 1966 by my estimation. The original finish is bright, bright, bright…hardly any fading at all. Completely original and no funny business. No cracks or breaks ever. Correct Mosrite knobs and Mosrite Correct Smooth Single Coil Pickups. Very few dings or scratches. No back rash at all... This guitar was really babied. The guitar sounds awesome with the Single Coil Pickups. Very strong and in your face with these! A very unique sound unlike any ES Style Thin line guitars like Gibson or Epiphone. I really like how these pickups sound! The neck is dead straight and the action is lightening quick and low. This guitar practically plays itself. I have the action set low. The original frets still have lots of life left in them. See pic on reverb. The Hard shell case is in very good shape. The Tolex is good, the Blue Plush interior is good and all of the latches are working properly. As you can see, the original handle is still on it. Accessory Box and lid is also still present. This guitar sounds marvelous. The guitar plays itself with fantastic low action. You will love playing it. What a player. Excellent action and the neck is dead straight. Plays like a dream. Very very cool sounds coaxed from the beautiful guitar. Here is some info I found on the web regarding these cool Mosrite Guitars... The Celebrity-III, Mark-I was designated as model 220 and is the “economical” version of the thinline Celebrity. The tell tale sign of a Celebrity-III is the smooth pickup covers, enclosed tuners with white plastic buttons instead of the metal buttons, no binding on the neck, and single layer body purfling/binding. This model came standard with the adjustable solid bridge and trapeze tailpiece. The tremolo was an additional option and would come with the adjustable roller bridge. This model also has the bound F holes. The body depth is 1 7/8”, the scale length is 24 1/2”, and there are 22 frets.. Celebrities are characteristic by their hollow bodies, bound F holes, zero fret, single coil pickups and speed frets. The necks are thin and fast as with all Mosrite guitars. The earliest Celebrities had tiny clay dots for fret markers. Thanks for checking out our guitars!
