Guitar Geek Pictures!

We had a webcast yesterday in my studio with Deke Dickerson and he brought a bunch of cool off-beat and historic instruments with him...here's a few pictures:

Tom is our "online host" for these events and he brought his R.C. Allen Bigsby copy from the 70's

Magnatone amp

Apparently Magnatone made these amps for a musician named Eddie Bush...he wanted his own line of amps.

The Excelsior amp was not used during the webcast but Deke gave me a tour of it afterwards. It was an Accordion amp maade be Sano for about a year, and the neat thing about it is that the reverb only comes out a pair of speakers in the sides for a sort of stereo thing.

Cool. Those are some very unique looking guitars. Did you play any of them? Which ones did you like?

[stingx]

Wow! Great pictures! I'd have been like a kid in a candy store. Damn, that looked like time well spent.

Way cool, Mark. Thanks for sharing!

It was a great time. My personal favorite sonically was Robbie Kriegers Gold Hallmark Sweptwing...
