I'm sorry, you said *JULY* 1965? Are you sure that's not 1968 and it doesn't say "Ventures II" on the headstock? I don't want to make it too complicated here but the MK V started out as a "Ventures II" probably some time in mid 1965 while the _other_ Ventures II was being made at the same time. If you genuinely have a *July 1965* MARK V in an original Orange Sparkle paint this might be a rare MK V; they weren't using the MK V name until 1966 to my knowledge possibly except for a few in-house prototypes. Then again, this could be a case where they were just using up old stock that was already stamped before putting the MK V name on it; I'm not sure. Still, your guitar's an interesting anomaly.
It could be original, Semi Moseley did use odd paint schemes. He used to live and build close to me in the eighties to early nineties. He was doing really oddball finishes then. Yours possibly could have been sent to him for a refinish also.
@@potassiumrichfoods yes he relocated to an area named Jonas Ridge NC real close to where I lived. He started building again in a small shop and put out a lot of guitars there. There some info on that period here on you tube. He did use some very different/unique finishes during that decade or so of his residence there. They are coveted by collectors due to the handmade build quality. I would love to have one from that period as I was young and dumb at that time and could not afford one. I saw him play once in a small church(gospel type music), and he was a great musician even though I hate that kind of stuff. I think its very possible that your guitar may have been sent to him and refinished. It might be worth researching if you still have it. Anyway I enjoyed seeing your video. It just popped up recently for some reason.
Is it OK with you if you tell what the serial number on this one is, If it still has it? It should be stamped on the fretboard near the neck pickup. I know someone who is compiling a list of these serial numbers.
They only made an estimated 4 to 15 under the Gospel name and they only used the Gospel name because they went bankrupt and had no rights to the Mosrite name in 1969. The Gospel branded models just became more known because Cobain had one that he probably got for peanuts in 1990.
Wow, sounds fantastic, I'm sold!
Super nice, Mosrites make such a great sound.
incredible!! What song are u playing here? its perfect
I own a Mk V made on July 14, 1965. I am trying to find more info about it. It is painted in orange sparkle paint, which is used on vehicles.
J BC That's cool, I personally have never seen an orange sparkle one. I'm trying to find a blue sparkle one, but they basically never come up.

Благодарю Вас за "surf'-НЕОБХОДИМОСТИ демо. большинство парней не получить его; Вы делаете вас.
Thanks for the video, Looks like a nice finish on the Mark V! Has it ever been refinished?

Fantastic. What are your opinions of the neck and frets though and what gauge of strings do you have it set up with?
Isn't it also called the Gospel?
