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!

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.

Quality at your finger tips
Size: Medium, Color: Burgundy
Excellent choice... Price was "on point", material feels good and durable, size fit great, and most of all the colours were great. Actually purchased several. It's nice to receive a product as it is stated and I did. Recommend very much. Oh and, can be worn at various times of the year. Wash and hung to dry is recommended to preserve quality.

Nice shirt but to shiny for the office
Size: X-Large, Color: Blue
I really like the semi professional, clean, well groomed look of collar-less shirts for my semi formal office. It is appropriate for almost any office occasion. Whether we're getting a visit from the corporate execs., or going out for happy hour...I don't feel over dressed or under dressed. However, for this item: Pros: 1. Excellent classic fit 2. Good stitching and well made Con: It is to shiny! I truly want to purchase every color they have in their lineup, but because of the shimmer, this is probably for someone that wants a night on the town vs a corporate office setting.

Good quality
Size: Medium, Color: Black
I purchased two shirts for my husband and they were a perfect fit. The quality of the material was excellent. They recommend dry cleaning and I took them to the cleaners because they were wrinkled with the folds. We will have to wait until he wears one to comment further.
