Hi all..
I have been a Mosrite fan since the early 60's, ever since I saw them on the back of The Ventures albums. Couldn't wait to buy one of the guitars that were making that beautiful music! My first came in 1972, a 1965 Venture's model. Over the years I added three more 6 strings and a 12 string, but regrettably sold all but the first one I purchased. It will remain with me for as long as it wants to.
Over the years I have played in several bands, just locals doing mostly Country, with a little Rock and a touch of Blues thrown in. But that ended when we moved to Florida about 6 years ago, so now I just play at home for my own amazement!
I collect The Ventures albums, kinda lost track as to how many are there. I also collect Hard Rock Cafe pins, but only those depicting Mosrite guitars. Guess I got the bug pretty bad.....
