The bass player in my band broke his E at a gig 6 months ago. It was the first time in over 10 years of playing with him and hundreds of gigs that he's broken a string. He said it was the first time he'd ever broken one. He didn't have any extras and we were the only band. It was actually pretty fun...

Mike, That is a beautiful guitar. Just awesome.

Man, that is a cool picture!!!

Is it possible to see a close up picture of the cracked paint? Btw. the dear Mr. Lennon is not a good example how to treat an instrument right. As I read in this forum a lot of his instruments had to suffer. It seems to me that a lot of people back in the day didn't treat their instruments as well ...

I love Bigsby's yet oddly don't own a guitar with one. I do have a guitar with Bigsby pickup thought and it's awesome!

Very cool! I want to check one of those out.
