It had a Moseley tremolo tail piece,  top hat style volume and tone knobs with M on the top. Tuners were closed Kluson-Deluxe-style. It had two Mosrite single-coil pickups with a three way selector switch. Mosrite had some great finish options for this model including banana yellow and sparkle finish black, green and red as well as a sunburst option.
