The Ventures, Nokie Edwards, Yuzo Kayama (2000)

[@gaian2000]

I have a Fender Strat and Ventures Model Mosrite. I personally prefer the Mosrite, but part of that might be because I played one from the mid 1960s until the early 1990s when hard times forced me to sell it. I bought another mid '60s Mosrite a few years ago because I missed it so much. I'm getting older now and appreciate how close the strings are to the neck. The zero frets are much easier for me to play these days and the sound is always a Ventures flashback. Love The Ventures and love my Mosrite!

Wow the Strat leaves the other guitars for dead the others sound muffled in comparison!

[@gaian2000]

You understand that some of their playing included a muted effect, right? I used the heel of my hand to achieve that but some instruments have a mute built in.

To this day the Japanese LOVE the Ventures! They had a HUGE following over there since the early sixties!
