USED ARIA / VM-2001 / The Ventures Model Sunburst [11]

The Ventures 40th Anniversary Model, released in 2001, has arrived.
Built to commemorate the Ventures’ 40th anniversary and released in 2001, this is the Ventures Don Wilson model that has been a favorite on stage for many years.

It features a smooth curved-top alder body with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard (22 frets), and is equipped with the original VOS-1 pickups featuring Alnico V magnets.
It features a completely original, handmade bridge and tremolo system.
Part of the "THE VENTURES" logo on the pickguard has faded.
There are scattered fine scratches and dents throughout the body, and the hardware shows some tarnish.
The remaining fret height is reduced due to fretting, but this does not affect playability.
While there are some signs of use, the instrument has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is excellent.
