edna Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 John Cipollina??? That was my first guess but I saw him on every picture with a black guitar...
bazooka Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 It is one of many that John Cipollina designed himself. It looks like he's playing it in this photo.
bazooka Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Some of you will still be asking "Who?" This Guy.(<) You owe it to yourself to check out a little bit of Cipollina's inimitable modus operandi.
edna Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 That was one of my dearest records when I was younger... I lost it some twentyfive years ago... I guess I should post a new one though Bazooka gave me more than a hint...
edna Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Gibson owned and played in 1964-1965.

bazooka Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 from modernguitars.com NEW YORK CITY (Manhattan). December 17, 2004. The results are in from Christie's "Rock & Roll and Entertainment Memorabilia" auction held today. Keith Richards 1959 Gibson Les Paul Auction Lot Number: 267 Estimate: Estimate On Request [see below] Final Auction price: Unsold While Christie's didn't publicly provide a pre-auction estimate of value, according to Newsday, the pre-sale value was $400,000. Although a 1959 Les Paul 'Burst is collectible in its own right, (non-celebrity specimens often sell for more than $100,000), there's no doubt that the value of this guitar was signficantly increased by Richards' ownership. Christie's lot description: A 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar, Serial No. 93182, Sunburst finish, single cutaway body, Maple top, cherry finish sides and back in Honduras Mahogany, Grover tuners, 22 fret Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays, Gibson logo inlayed to head, one Humbucking "patent applied for" zebra rythym pickup, one Humbucking "patent applied for" double black lead pickup, Gibson ABR1 Tuneomatic bridge, four rotary controls, selector switch, Bigsby tailpiece, together with 1960s Les Paul hardshell case. Played by Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan Show (1964/1965), Ready Steady Go! (1964) and during various Rolling Stones appearances from the same era. Also played by Mick Jagger during Beggar's Banquet recording sessions. Additionally present are two certificates of authenticity (facsimile copies) from guitar specialists Tony Bacon and Clive Brown as well as four 8 by 10 inch images of Richards playing the guitar and two of Mick Jagger playing the guitar and additional related documents.
bazooka Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 Yeah. All sorts of neat stuff there.
bazooka Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 Lots of great interviews, too. Like this one with Les Paul .
edna Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 Bazooka, you´re amazing. In fact, you´re a master... It´s your turn. Random thought: I´d love to spend one day with Bazooka, Bluesy and RonJon, learning from their musical knowledge.
bazooka Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 musical recess Peggy Night makes my future look so bright, Man, that girl is out of sight, Love to spend the day with Peggy Night. Well, you know that even before I learned her name, You know I loved her just the same. And I tell them all, wherever I may go, Just so they'll know, that she's my little lady And I love her so. Peggy Day stole my poor heart away, Turned my skies to blue from gray, By golly, what more can I say, Love to spend the night with Peggy Day. ~ Bob "You may call me Zimmy" Dylan Back to the guitar quiz:
bazooka Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Precisely, edna. Brian's Teardrop Vox sold at Sotheby's auction in 1984 for a mere 3,200 English pounds.
edna Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) You´re a mine, Bazooka... I´ll try to post one myself... I mean, not the easiest one... Sorry, just couldn´t seem to find a smaller one this morning... Edited September 25, 2005 by Guest
bazooka Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 You´re a mine, Bazooka... The worldwide web is a mine. I'm just a miner.

bazooka Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 Back to the guitar mines. Who plays these fellows?
edna Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Bazooka, I want your autograph... Ok, Master Miner, I´ll have coffee and then I´ll try to guess. I dunno... Buddy Guy? I´ll keep searching... Edited September 26, 2005 by Guest
bazooka Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 I dunno... Buddy Guy? I´ll keep searching... edna, are you kidding? Your search is over. It's the Buddy Guy Polka Dot Stratocaster® The polka dots honor Buddy’s mom. Here's the story
edna Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Wow, it´s a honour to be right with your guess, Bazooka... I had some Buddy Guy´s pictures on my books and there was one similar Stratocaster in one corner... Let´s see this one... ...or this one... Same performer. Edited September 26, 2005 by Guest
edna Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) OK, hint: from NYC. Formed late 60s by producer of Cream. And seems we didn´t see the first pages... or at last I should have noticed Imthatguy posted the Buddy Guy guitar on third page... Edited September 27, 2005 by Guest
edna Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 No takers? OK, more hint: his band played in Woodstock. The producer and bass player (italian origin) was shot by his wife in 1983.
