Dane,

As a wise man once said, "Good on ya, mate."

 

[West R Lee]

Absolutely Darryl, better not make it longnecks though, unless you weigh 100 lbs. and have the agility and balance of a gazelle.

West

 

[coastie99]

West,

The kind of Texas flat land where you could stand on a six-pack of Lone Star and see the whole county.

Coastie,

You overlooked Ray because you couldn't take your eyes off of Chrissie's hind.

Hattie-Foie.

Maybe if Raymond had taken more notice of Chrissie's hind, they might still be married !

[JHCrawLaw]

I just stumbled over a photo of Jorma Kaukonen with an S200 Thunderbird, apparently from the recording sessions for the album Surrealistic Pillow in 1967. Couldn't load the pic, but you can find it under the Jorma Kaukonen tab under "band" at http://www.jeffersonairplane.com.

 

[The Guilds of Grot]

Here, this will get you there.

 

[The Guilds of Grot]

Better yet...Here's Jorma;

I found another new guy; Josh Ritter;

I've also seen pix of him playing Gibbons and Martinis.

Looks like he's been playing that Guild pretty hard though!

 

[danerectal]

Here's a decent one of Jack Casady with his SF bass

Don't mind that little blip in the top left corner, they always try to horn in on something good.

 

[Volt]

This thread would be a great sticky to have in the Miscellaneous section IMO.
It would also be nice to know what Guild model guitars did/do these folks play, i.e. Eddy, Duane, X-175, DE-500.

[quote="sitka_spruce":92dcc]BTW didn't Kottke, mr 12-string himself, have a brief history with one?

I'd like to believe that, but I have never seen him with one in all the concerts I've attended since 1971. It would seem like he must have tried one somewhere along the way, but ... I've never seen one on his LP covers, in any articles written about him, videos of him, or any place else. Help us out, sitka_spruce. Got any other details? Anybody got some evidence? Of course you're not likely to see him with a Guild since his Taylor signature model was introduced, and for years he played a Bozo. (Ask california about that fella!) But it would be cool to know that he at least experimented with a Guild at some time or another.

Although Leo is widely known for playing Taylors, I remember having read somewhere he's supposed to have a F-412 (?) in his stables. Shoot me if I'm wrong on this, but I added his name to the list.[/quote:92dcc]

According to this site, Leo played a Guild 12 string at this show in 1968. Doesn't specify model. I haven't seen any photos or video of him with a Guild though.
I believe Leo was playing a Guild 12 string and there were about 10 or 12 folks in the audience, including the 3 of us who were ran the place.
