From the web:

The 1993 Mosrite VMG-1200BLK (or V-1200) is a Japan-market reissue of the classic Ventures Model, typically produced during a period when production was authorized under the guidance of Semie Moseley’s wife, Loretta, following his passing in 1992. These instruments are often regarded as some of the last "genuine" era-specific Mosrite's before the company's 1994 bankruptcy.

  • Production Context: These were produced in Japan in limited numbers (e.g., 135 made in 1993, with some models being individually numbered).
  • Design & Features:
    • Body: Often constructed from Basswood.
    • Neck: Maple with a Rosewood fretboard.
    • Pickups: High-output, single-coil "air coil" pickups known for a unique, bright, and punchy, yet sometimes thin tone.
    • Hardware: Known for using specialized vibrato systems (Vibramute or similar).
  • Condition & Value: Due to their age, 1993 models are frequently found as used, high-end collector items in Japan. They are considered very accurate "1965 style" reissues.
