HERE WITH HAVE THE VENTURES WITH THEIR #1 LINEUP LEAD GUITARIST

Nokie Edwards

They are not using Mosrite Guitars
The playing is great but the sound is NOT Mosrite
Hear the difference

Nokie Edwards is a great player and plays with incredible feel !!!
BUT
It's obviously not that great Mosrite Sound !!!

The Ventures Switched to using Fender guitars on stage 
 in this writers opinion they lost that special sound that made them so unique.

It's safe to assume that the reason they changed brands had to do an endorsement deal.

The guitar that they are endorsing today are Korean made low priced toys!!!

Does anybody remember when Clapton switched to Fender ??
He definitely lost his edge !!!
The original sound he got during the Cream era was lost forever.

The Chantays Were One Of My Favorite Surf Groups
In Fact Pipeline Is My favorite Surf Song
Here is the Original By The Chantay's Who were using Fenders in 1963

They appeared here on the Lawrence Welk show which is amazing because Welk was a completely different type of show.
We Used To Call Lawrence Welk The Bubbling Idiot.

The Ventures had a bigger hit with it because the Mosrite Guitars were simply
Hotter & twangier than the Fenders.

 

Pipeline Was Awesome But Penetration Was the other great Surf Song
