We regret to inform everyone that Takeshi “Terry” Terauchi passed away on June 18, 2021 at the age of 82.  He was very famous in Japan for his guitar playing and was influenced by The Ventures – his preferred guitar was the Mosrite which, of course, was the guitar that The Ventures used during part of the 1960s.  We send our condolences to his family and all his fans in Japan at this sad time.
