And they may not be in business anymore.  But I'm not sure.

Originally the Ventures used Fender guitars, but the Mosrite was a Fender
with balls.  With an old all-tube Fender Bandmaster and a Mosrite guitar,
you can produce that California '60s instrumental sound. ( And don't forget -
you have to be heavy on the reverb knob. )

In my Catholic high school we were all required to take religion classes.
Religion classes were "Contemporary Ethics and Marriage" which covered the
Bible, and "Theology" which covered the Bible, and "Ethics" which covered
the Bible.  In my second semester senior year, we took a mock AP Religion
test.  Needless to say, AP Religion means AP Bible Study, so I was well
prepared.  I used my knowledge to pick the exact wrong answer on every
question.  I got a perfect 0.  I didn't get a perfect, but they did try to
exorcise me.

The best part was that the senior level "Ethics" course was taught by
a priest who looked like a 50-year old Clarence Bodicker. (Remember RoboCop?)
He sounded exactly like him too.  Scary.

Catholic priests are q00l.  His first words to the class included:
"This class is about the logical basis of ethics.  In this class you
 will be graded on your logical skills.  So if you use good logical
 structure to support your arguments, you will get a good grade even if
 your opinions are wrong."
Another priest:
"Our goal in this course is to discover the nature of God by reason alone."


Gotta love it.
