'''Mosrite''' was an American [[guitar]] manufacturing company, based in [[Bakersfield, California]], from the late 1950s to the early 1990s. Founded by [[Semie Moseley]], Mosrite guitars were played by many [[rock and roll]] and [[country music|country]] artists.

Mosrite guitars were known for innovative design, high-quality engineering, very thin, low-fretted and narrow necks (though Mosrite used taller frets and wider necks after the 1960s,) and hot (high output) pickups. Moseley's design for [[The Ventures]], known as "the Ventures model" (later known as the "Mark I") was generally considered to be the flagship of the line.
Mosrite also made a small number of acoustic guitars;  The Serenade model, and four Balladere models, including one 12 string.
