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!

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.

Worth it if you dont want your oil cap to get damaged.
Color: Black
I used to use a regular filter clamp form by oil filter cap and it was damaging it. I bought this and it was definitely worth it. If anyone is wondering I have a 2007 bmw 335i e93 and it was a perfect fit.

Works perfect for BMW S63 engine.
I used this to change the oil on my BMW M8 with the S63 engine. It was a perfect fit. It extended far enough onto the filter housing to be quite secure with no risk of slipping off and stripping the housing. It was snug on the housing and did not bind up due to having a loose fit. The tool feels well-built and I suspect it will outlive me given my occasional personal use. It would still probably hold up well even for daily shop use as long as it was not abused (repeatedly dropped, slammed around, etc).
