Hats With Musical Instruments

I saw the one that interviews David Crosby a lot, & talks about Mama Cass a lot. Whichever title that was.

 

Could be Laurel Canyon. Part 2 focused on Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Eagles.

 

Looks like Lucy has a hot date today, she's all spiffed up with this old Dobbs.

 

Lucy, as in "Lucille"?

The thrill is never really gone when you have that combo in the house!

 

Great pic.

Yep, that's the old girl.
I know why BB was always sitting down, that thing weighs more than any Les Paul you'll encounter.

 

I've always thought flying V's are the most awkward things to play. I can see why heavy metal guitarists like to point them straight out, so they can hook the V on their leg.

 

Did someone saying Flying V?


You have to play them like a classical guitar when you're sitting down.
One thing's for sure, there's no problem with upper fret access and they're light enough.

 

Albert King had 5 V's & they were all carved with an arched top across the face as he preferred. I believe Joe Bonamassa owns one, Steven Seagal owns three in his collection, & one went back to Gibson.

 

I didn't know that about his guitars, thanks!
I knew he played a right handed one lefty and learned how to play by inventing his own tuning to where it sounded good to him.
I had never seen a Flying V until I discovered Wishbone Ash as a kid after reading about them in Guitar Player Magazine.

 

I think when Gibson quit using Tom Nelson pickups (or Nelson left Gibson, whatever that deal was) Albert stayed with THN pickups on his guitars. And Nelson may have actually carved & built the last couple of guitars for him. He gave credit of his sound to those Nelson pickups.

 

Great all around and my kinda' music.
