Reunited and it feels like I do
Peter Frampton has recovered his 1954 LP Custom after 30 years. Kinda brings a tear to my eye ... this from Vintage Guitar:

That pretty awesome that he got his old friend back. There is always that one Guitar (Or bass) that has special meaning. To him it was this one.

It's like finding an old friend. I am so happy for Peter. He is a wonderful man and a great musician.

Very cool story - thanks for posting the link, Kira!

Re: Reunited and it feels like I do
Peter is one facebook celebrity that does his own posting, and because of that I'm pleased to think of him as a friend. So I can whole-heartedly say that it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Truly.

Wow, that's quite a story... surviving 32 years after a plane crash !
And somebody cared enough to track down its rightful owner.
That guitar has nine lives !

Julian also posts his own material and thoughts on facebook as do Tal Bachman and Slash. There are a few other rock stars of course who also maintain their own facebook pages and they are all down to earth. Peter is a gentle, unassuming man. A great human being. I could not be happier for him.

Now if he could only be reunited with his beautiful curly blonde hair ...

Yes, very cool story indeed!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: Reunited and it feels like I do
The article is still pretty light on the detail. Exactly where has the guitar been these past 30 years and how did it survive the crash?
Jangle, Chime & Twang.
Re: Reunited and it feels like I do
Great story! When you consider the odds it is nothing short of amazing, especially as it was #1 guitar.
