my old '58 strat -- now owned by Buddy Guy. I should NOT have traded it to him....dumb, dumb, dumb.


That's not a "relic" -- that's 40 years of honest play wear!

 

 

Seriously...how many people can say they swapped guitars with a guitar legend? Feel proud he wanted one of yours!

Here's a Frankentele a buddy of mine made and let his son use in his goth/metal/emo/poser band. The kid Townshended the thing, which was already kind of a wreck since it was put together very DIY-- the neck Seymour Duncan minihumbucker was put into the pickgard apparently by cutting the single-coil size slot bigger with a chisel or knife or something, and the "luthier" also turned a toploader into a string-through with what I'm guessing must've been a hand drill rather than a drill press. There are no ferrules through the guitar, just holes. He then hacked out (again, looks like he used a chisel) an inset in the back of the guitar and put a thin metal sheet with holes in it to secure the ball-ends of the strings so they wouldn't sink in the wood.

Oh, did I mention that the tuners on the thing were PURPLE? I managed to scrape most but not all of the purple coloring off.

I'm guessing it dates from the 90's.

Some pretty cool guitars there guys, keep em comin


I especially like the '58 strat you traded with Buddy Guy, Roccotactical



BRING ON SOME MORE OF THOSE WORN GUITARS GUYS -- I love seeing those road warriors. The good ones got PLAYED....the bad ones went under the bed. Never buy a "mint" vintage guitar if you wanna play it!

Here's the man his very own self jamming with it at Legends. He's looking fly as always. I love Buddy Guy, even more than SRV, the three Kings, and nearly any other blues guitarist I can think of.....

I should call him and ask him to leave it to me in his will. Something tells me that ain't gonna happen :lol:
