Here is the Ventures model

this is a picture of them recording the Ramones album, and i beleive this is a rented or borrowed guitar not owned by Johnny.

I actually bid on the reciept above, thinking $800 would be enough, boy was I wrong! That little gem went for $2300!

BTW, for all you newbies, that reciept is for the blue Ventures II, his first Mosrite. Did you buy that reciept Adam?

Nope, not me. Apparently the framed receipt is on display at the Ramones Museum in Berlin.

BTW, in one of the photos from the first album being recorded at Radio City show a white Ventures II in the background of one of the photos. Very interesting. There are things in the Ramones timelines that don't seem to make a lot of sense. I've seen a concert video documentary from a guy in a band called Rusty Nail that shows Johnny playing either Rock and Roll High School or Do you Remember Rock and Roll Radio, I forget which, on his blue Ventures II with Tommy drumming. Not too strange, as tons of their songs were written long before being recorded but, the white Ventures II apperaing in a photo BEFORE the first album is released? Hmm.......

that is kinda weird. maybe johnny bought the white one before the blue one was stolen??? I have somewhere a pic of Johnny playing a uber rare sunburst slab ventures 2. the only other I've ever seen was on the forum at front porch. I don't know exactly when that first blue guitar was stolen, but remember the band did play regularly for two years before the first album was released. ::shrugs::

Johnny said in 74 you couldn't give away thoses Ventures 2, so who knows.

I think i remember reading Johnny's brownish-black ven 2 that he used in the pet sematary video was a friend's guitar that johnny borrowed, then eventually bought. this is the same one that was painted gold, according to stories I've read.
