hi all ;D a couple of interesting facts for y'all ;D did you know that srv's guitar was called "no 1" and that he used such thick guage strings that his fingers would get cut up so he used to put superglue on his finger tips to keep playing
did you know that the reason bb king called his guitar lucille was because after he played a show in a juke joint ( wot eva that is lol ) that caught fire and he ran in and grabbed the guitar afterwards he reflected how foolish he was and decided that only a man in love would act that way so he named his guitar after a woman also the bb is short for blues boy which was his nickname when he was a dj in the 40's
brian mays guitar "the red special" was built by himself and his father from a 200 year old mantle piece he believes the wood is what gives himhis famous sustain
did you know when fender released their first telecaster in 1950 it was originally known as a broadcaster
