;Pre-1963: 
:* '''Joe Maphis''' model &mdash; Same general body shape as the later ''Ventures'' model; This was to be ''Joe Maphis' '' model before Semie Moseley and The Ventures settled on a contract and the body shape became the ''Ventures'' model. This is not the same as the later ''Joe Maphis'' model which is similar to the ''Combo'' model.

;1963–1968: 
:* '''The Ventures''' Model &mdash; Also came as a [[bass guitar|bass]] and later on, A [[Twelve-string guitar|12-string]]. Post Ventures, 1968 and 1969 it was named the "'''Mark I'''". <br/>The first [[The Ventures|Ventures]] Models came with a [[set-in neck|set neck]], [[Inlay (guitar)#Binding|bound]] body and a large Ventures and Mosrite logo, less than 250 of these were made before settling on the standard Ventures Model sometime in 1964, without body binding and the neck became [[bolt-on neck|bolt on]]. The Mosrite logo and Ventures model logo were slightly reduced.
:* '''Ventures Bass''' (AKA "'''Mark X'''")
:* '''Mark XII''' Twelve-String Guitar &mdash; Most of these have [[Stoptail bridge|stoptail]]s although some have [[Vibrato systems for guitar#The Mosrite Vibrato|tremolo]]s.

;1965: 
:* '''The Ventures II''' ("Slab Body" Type) Model &mdash; Designed by Semie Moseley's brother, Andy Moseley. Only built as a six-string guitar in 1965. Came in Red, Blue, White, and Sunburst. Production started in mid-1965 and ended several months later with small production numbers not exceeding 150 (possibly under 100.) This Slab Body Model was replaced with the second ''Ventures II'' design, reportedly because Semie Moseley was disappointed in this original design, thinking it looked too cheap for Mosrite. The "Slab Body" name is not official, it was coined by Mosrite enthusiasts to differentiate the two Ventures II guitars.

This Ventures "Slab Body" is the model that [[Johnny Ramone]] of the [[Ramones]] was mostly known to play.

;1965–1966: 
:* '''The Ventures II''' (German Carve Body Type) Model &mdash; Replaced the earlier Ventures II; Same body design as the ''Mark V'' model. Only came as a six-string guitar. Some of these, mostly earlier models with rare exceptions, have longer pickguards than later models; the neck pickup on the long pickguard models is slightly farther from the bridge, as Mosrite did to use up remaining Ventures II "Slab Body" necks, which are slightly shorter at their end than later necks for this model (but are still the same scale length.) This model was re-named the "Ventures Mark V" in 1966.

The "Ventures II German Carve" name is not official, it was coined by Mosrite enthusiasts to differentiate the two Ventures II guitars.

; 1966–?:
:* '''Joe Maphis Dual Neck''' model&mdash; Two-necked guitar based on the '''Ventures''' model. Has 6 string and 12 string necks. Variants may exist.
:* '''Joe Maphis''' models &mdash; These are similar in body shape to the later ''Combo'' model, but unlike the ''Combo'' model, these have no [[F-hole]]s. They're normally painted in a natural finish. They came as:
:* '''Mark I''' Six-String Guitar
:* '''Mark X''' Bass
:* '''Mark XII''' Twelve-String Guitar

;1966–1969: 
:* '''The Ventures Mark V''' Model &mdash; Later just named "'''Mark V'''" after the Ventures contract ended in 1967/1968. Came in Red, White, Blue, and Sunburst, and late in production, as Candy Apple Red. Only sold as a six-string guitar commercially, although a few Bass Prototypes exist (albeit with guitar scale lengths of 24.50".) A battered 1966 Ford Blue version of this model was used by the [[B-52s]]' [[Ricky Wilson (American musician)|Ricky Wilson]] with only four strings and a custom tuning for some of their distinctive sound and was featured on the inner sleeve of their debut 'yellow' album.
