Like the mid-1950s design that has become the most recognizable electric guitar design on the planet, the Ventura is another form of simplicity that posesses incredible depth of musical dynamics in its utility. Though the body and headstock shapes are proprietary, the ergonomics and feel are all familiar. The in-house wound Ventura pickups are made with plain enamel wire and AlNiCo II magnets for a brilliant tone that has a warmth not often heard in “boutique” offerings.
