Description: 

A rare Fender Japan Domestic JM-165VR "The Ventures" Jazzmaster in very clean condition. This is the "Premium Collection" version made for the Japan's domestic market and was notably Fender's first signature Jazzmaster model. Lightweight ash body finished in a striking transparent black sunburst. Features a streamlined control layout lacking the traditional upper-bout "rhythm circuit" found on standard Jazzmasters, opting instead for a simplified master volume, master tone, and a 3-way toggle switch. Maple neck featuring a bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays and 22 frets.Original pickguard was delaminating so we had a replacement made (original is included in case). Body shows some minor finish chips/dings on the bottom edge near the output jack but is otherwise in very good condition with no major damage. Neck shows some very light surface marks but is otherwise very clean. Headstock shows some very light surface marks and wear along the edge but is otherwise in excellent condition. Fretboard is in excellent condition and frets show almost no wear whatsoever. Hardware shows some very light wear but is overall very clean and all working perfectly. Electronics work perfectly and pickups sound fantastic. Plays great and a perfect addition to any collection. A unique and beautiful Jazzmaster! Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes hard case. See below for a list of specs and info.

From the web:
The Ventures were an instrumental band, famous in the '50s & '60s, that made extensive use of Fender guitars and basses. In its golden period the band was composed of rhythm guitarist Don Wilson, bassist and guitarist Bob Bogle, guitarist Nokie Edwards, who alternated over time with Gerry McGee, and drummer Mel Taylor.

 

Despite the fact that the band also used Mosrite’s instruments (the company produced a line with its name), in 1996 Fender decided to celebrate his 50th anniversary making, only for one year and in limited edition, a series of Ventures Stratocaster Ventures Stratocaster Ventures Stratocaster Ventures Stratocaster, Jazzmaster and Jazz Bass.

 These instruments featured an ash body with a transparent Midnight Black burst finish.

So cute and great for travel! Lots of organization areas, easy to use, very durable and not made cheap, the zipper closes just fine and it’s compact for traveling or storing under the sink.

Necessary for travel
Size: Medium (6.8"W*4.4"D*2.2"H), Color: Purple
This is really cute and looks classy. Quality is very nice. The only thing is the hooks for the necklaces didn’t keep them on, but everything else about this is a must for traveling and not losing or tangling up your jewelry.
