This got me going today.

I love that Johnny Moore cd set!

I have a question. Do you still or have you owned guitars made in the 50's. Do you still take them out and use them?
I have owned some 50's guitars, 55 Paul, 54 refin tele, 55 Strat, and I still have one, A Harmony H-62. I play it out.
It seems the older I get, newer things seem to work.

I play my '36 Harmony Cremona for all my acoustic gigs. They don't make them like that anymore.

Funny you should mention the Cremona, I have been thinking about getting one.

Hold My Mule might well be the best traditional blues album of the last decade. Everything about it is wonderful. Sax Gordon makes everything he plays on a better thing, and Watson's in the band...

I'm on a Kim kick. Great Brown Bandmaster/AC-30 tone!
Is that the ES-5 that is seen in Hollywood Fats video?

When was this? It looks early, but no Jimmie Vaughan?
Who are the guitar players?
Sorry for my ignorance!

Great sound, what a beautiful guitar-Kid Ramos, right? Sounds like a slightly ' subdued' Hollywood Fats

I had a chance to buy that guitar 17 years ago. From what I remember the guy who had it traded Kid a couple AC-30's for it. Sounded great, but had a really thin neck on it. The original case had a bunch of cool old James Harman band stickers on it. I ended up buying a 50's 295 from him instead.

Guitarist are Duke Robillard and Kid Bangham. Post JLV.

Thanks, did not recognize Duke R ( it's been a while for me) and I was thinking it was earlier...

Side note: I owned a 2-Tone SB Jimmie Vaughan Strat ( cheap Tex/ Mex) with the fat/V maple neck for a few years- sadly, stolen, but a great take on an affordable '50's style Strat- miss it!

This is in 1992 from a show on The Nashville Network called "The Texas Connection". They were promoting the first post-JLV release "Walk That Walk, Talk That Talk" which I think is an underrated record.

What’s it in for? What’s the general health status of the instrument?

I just posted in the other thread too... The song is Hollywood Bop by Knockout Greg & Blue Weather on their Doin' Allright album... guitarist is Anders Lewen.

I think the first job would be to remove the graffiti and the stickers
