Please Note: I’m listing this guitar as a refinished Pearl White. It was purchased under the assumption years ago that it was professionally refinished and I’m selling it as a refinished 1965 Pearl White Mosrite. The finish is that of a Mosrite pearl white, however, it is very difficult to tell completely that it is a refi (because the finish and quality is great). Outside of this, my review of the guitar is that it is all original. Even the pickguard screws all match (see pic) and the tuners have the plastic tips (typical on white Mosrites). The buyer should review all pics and be familiar with the specificities of a Mosrite guitar of this era upon determining whether to bid or not.
As far as the sound, it’s classic Mosrite tone. As far as playability, it’s classic Mosrite with original low frets and gorgeous rosewood fretboard. The pots date to 1965. The guitar plays and sounds incredible. The toggle switch is a little stiff upon moving from lead to rhythm and at times can get stuck in position, but it works. Upon plugging in, there is some vintage buzzing when the chord is moved, causing the pickups to cut in and out..a little jiggering gets them fixed. This is really due to age and dustiness and should reduce upon cleaning (I have not worked on or cleaned any part of this guitar).
Original hard shell case is also included. The case has rope for a handle and has various (but interesting) stickers.
As stated above, please let me know if you need more pics or have questions. I will do my best to answer and provide color when applicable. This is a great piece of vintage guitar history and rare to find in Pearl White.
Shipping will be a flat $140 and will be shipped via Fedex (I double up each guitar case with a custom cardboard covering and pack in a very well packed/padded GUITAR shipping container box). I will only ship guitars using Fedex.

Lastly, for shipping charges, this is a pass through cost to me...meaning that I don't look to profit off of any shipping.
