Please come and share your cool Venture autographs

[Gary67]

Hello!
I know there are a bunch of you out there with cool Venture autographs.
I don't know if anyone has ever posted them in one spot before, I thought it might be neat to see, and any good stories that may go along with them!
I didn't know where to post this topic...so Off Topic sounded best!

Here are my scanned pictures:



I did get to meet The Ventures when I lived in NJ...they were all so very nice and answered all of my questions (that they must have been asked by everyone a million times by now!) True talent and just great guys!

Here are some of them:

1996 The Ventures Tribute Jazzmaster (Autographed by Don, Bob, Nokie, Gerry & Leon. These were signed after Mel Taylor's passing. RIP, Mel)



Don has autographed the case, Don & Bob on the poster





From Bob Bogle; He was nice to personalized it (One year before he passed away, RIP, Bob)

I only have Nokie's autograph on the back of a concert ticket from 2002 when he performed in Amstredam with a Dutch band calling themselves "AdVenture". My son has it now, somewhere.
I hope you don't mind me saying this -and perhaps I may be coming from another planet: actually, I dislike autographs irremovably splashed all over fine objects like album covers (on the front), guitars and such.
No matter who comes along, I shall never have anyone sign any one of my guitars...I find it kinda defaces them
I have no problem with easily removable autographs, though
