I've always been a big fan of good surf music. Very good surf tone. You can see the outboard fender reverb over to the right hand side of the guitarist amp. Funny, I didn't even realize that was a yamaha guitar.

 

i watched every video on youtube they had tonight, man that guy is unbelievable.

Awesome! If anyone doesn't know already, and probably everyone does, The Ventures were big in Japan way back because they were instrumental- there was no language barrier. I hear a lot of Ventures in there. Does this other band have CDs out?

They have quite a few CDs, but I believe most are Japan-only releases. They broke up this year. Surf is a real niche market and there's not a whole lot of money in it.

You can download a lot of their stuff on iTunes.

 

Good music is a niche market sad to say. Regardless of genre, if you aren't a living legend or in a band that see's a lot of air time on the radio you probably aren't making a killing. Personally I prefer my musicians starving, because most of the bands I know got worse when they "made it".

I found arkays thread on the guitar... Man that thing is a tone monster! Might be the Shigeo Naka guy playin too.

 

 

I could have sworn I saw a model like that a few years ago made by yamaha with a set neck. Had a dark sunburst finish. It was used and looked vinatge.
