Excellent Ventures models.

Postby mosman » Wed Apr 08, 2009 3:13 am

I've heard / read over and over about how the Japanese Mosrites can no longer display The Ventures logo—in fact I scored a recent Japanese catalogue and there was nary a Ventures logo anywhere to be found—but it's still on all the Excellent series guitars available in Australia.
I've bought two brand new and one used in the last two years and they all have the band's name on the headstock.
Are they slipping through the cracks somehow or are the reports greatly exaggerated?

Speed limit is 65 but everyone are going 80. You don't get tickets unless cops stop you.

Bill,

Maybe you should become the unofficial Kurokumo distributor for the US - take orders here, buy the guitars, and ship them to the Excellent starved American masses!

Bill.

...also came accross this........"This one HAS the VENTURES logo, none of the current ones on the market do and from what I have gathered there won’t be any more with the logo." see: http://diamondstrings.com/blog/?cat=9

That's what I read somewhere but I can tell you it doesn't apply here.
I wonder what the story is.
