So sad …. The Ventures definitely among my top guitarists! I remember Bruce Welch talked about The Ventures , when The Shadows were on tour in Japan in Tokio , and they stayed in the Hilton hotel and met in the bar ( which was very unusual for Bruce 😉 ) The Ventures , and Bruce said : WOW….. That says enough ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q85yYPCjQ64 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxT5sfhP_Y0 |

Nothing says instrumental surf music like an EVH 5150 🤔 Don Wilson playing through a 5150, to be fair it does have a very good clean channel seeing they are made by Fender youtu.be/T7v6__8DwX4Matthew |
