Other Ventures Models

Postby dorkrockrecords » Tue May 11, 2010 4:46 pm

Since a good deal of forum space has been dedicated to the various Japanese Ventures endorsements, most notably the Aria/Wilson Bros products, I thought these additions may also be of interest: the Don Wilson Signature Amplifier by Canopus and the Gerry McGee Signature Guitar by Combat.

Wow, That Gerry McGee Signature guitar looks pretty nice. I actually would like to try one out! Thanks for sharing, Adam!

Interesting Adam. I knew about the Don Wilson Signature amp by Canopus (drum manufacturer mainly I beleive) and it is mere coincidence that today (!) I came across this web page :arrow: http://www18.ocn.ne.jp/~mixp/gmgtar.html of the various guitars played by Gerry McGee, including the Combat! :)

Wow! $5,664.75 plus shipping. That's a little steep for my pocketbook.
