At 4:23, you'll see a photo of Eddie playing a Mosrite backin' his Dad in an old family photo.

Yeah, it's a cool story. Eddie has been known to count the Ventures among his early influences. He's not playing a Ventures model in the picture but I wonder if he's playing the Mosrite brand on it's Ventures cashe. -Marty
