Description: 

A very rare Fender Japan Domestic ST-165VR "The Ventures" Stratocaster in very clean condition. This is the "Premium Collection" version made for the Japanes domestic market so it features a hard case and has the additional "the ventures" logo on the body as well as the headstock. Includes original docs & original hard case in excellent condition. Shows very some light surface scuffing, some very small edge marks on the headstock, some light oxidization on the gold hardwear and some light fretwear in the root chord position (tons of life left). No major dings/dents/chips or deep scratches. This was only occasionally played at the most as it is very clean over all for a 30 year old guitar. A very clean example of a rare collectable Stratocaster.

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.

The Ventures Stratocaster was characterized by a small matching headstock with The Ventures Logo, a bound rosewood fretboard, pearloid block markers, shell pickguard and gold hardware.

Each of the band members asked for changes to the original Fender design: Gerry, in particular, inspired by Eric Clapton, had three Gold Lace Sensor pickups and the MDX boost instead of the second tone knob. Fender Japan decided to continue the production of the Ventures Stratocaster until 1999, but only for the Japanese market; the “domestic” model was distinguishable by the presence of the band’s logo also on the body.

Best heat tape
Size: 10mm X 33m
I recently switched to this heat tape, and it has exceeded all my expectations. It is by far the best I’ve ever used, leaving no residue behind and no yellow coloring on the surface, unlike the brown heat tape I previously used. Since making the change, I’ve never considered purchasing anything else. The tape fits perfectly on my dispenser, which is a convenient feature. Additionally, it lasts quite a while, ensuring that I get my money’s worth. Overall, I am highly satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient heat tape solution.

Wonderful
Size: 20mm X 33m
I love this kind of sublimation tape. I have used this kind for years, and of course different sizes depending on what I am making. When I first started out with sublimation, I use the amber sublimation tape that came with certain products that you start off buying. I started off with tumblers and used this amber tape to tape down my seams, wow, much to my discuss the amber tape left its color on my tumblers. I was discussed and it was just not one, but about 3 of them. It took me another 2 hours to peel off all the sublimation pictures and the amber tape to have to redo many many tumblers. I found out then, that this has happened to many other people (facebook, pintrest, etc) and switched over then to this tape and have never use another color but clear tape. I have even had to take this tape off the sub pic when I did not get it lined up correctly and it did not tear the sub pic or do any other damage and I could reuse the same piece that I started with. Won't buy anything else

Good width, doesn’t leave residue
Size: 20mm X 33m
I love this tape for the width and the fact that it doesn’t leave residue. It’s also easy to remove when you are peeling it. (For both tumblers and shirts) The only issue I have is that when you are trying to tape tightly on a tumbler, it doesn’t always adhere tight so often times it snaps off of tumblers when pulling it to stick.
