Your favorite picture(s) of an artist playing a Guild?

[Bill Ashton]

I watched the PBS American Masters documentary on Little Richard last night. There is film of him playing in England with Sounds Incorporated as his backup band, and the guitar player (as in Gorgie Fame's band) is playing a Guild jazz box. Film is from early 60's, The Beatles opened for him, before they were "faa-mus."

Guild at Little Richard's Show in Liverpool 1962

In 1963, Little Richard played in Liverpool, England, singing "Shake Baby Shake." One of the guitarists in the band is playing a Guild, probably a Starfire. Check it out at 5:18 in the video.

Saw a trailer for the PBS Roy Orbison doc and thought I saw a shot with a Guild. I looked around a little and came up with this:

A-150?

Robert Jr. Lockwood, who was a sideman on many classic Chess/Checker sides. I think he mostly played a Gretsch on those, but these PICs show that Guild must've also had a place in his heart:




As a sideman on Chess etc.:





Please indulge me: Robert is a longtime favorite of mine.

Here he is with his trusty Gretsch. Looks like he replaced the "mud" switch with a Tonestyler or something of that nature:
