Didn't want to pirate a thread, so I thought I'd call it out here.
I see that you've got Cropper plying his beloved custom Peavey Tele as a Avatar. You a fan of the man? The axe?
Cropper is not only a pioneer, dude is a total class act. In one of my alternate identities, I drive for a venue here in Chicago, and I spent 4 days with the MG's, Cropper, Dunn, and Booker T, his wife AND Daughter.
Cropper was a TOTALLY chill dude, and I actually got to put my paws on that guitar when they were setting up for a gig with Mavis Staples.
It always amazes me how these guitar gods travel with nothing but a guitar, and simply spec the amp they want in advance. He plugged in, messed around with the settings for a few, and was good to go.
Here's my iPhone pic of his guitar from that night.

Total Icon. And honestly, hardly takes himself seriously at all. Honestly, the biggest pains in the butt are usually the superstars wives....but that's another thread altogether!
