You're one of the luckiest guitarists in the world to get to meet that musical giant.I'd scuba dive in a septic tank to get a chance to meet him.I almost got to see him when Howlin' Wolf played here in the mid 70s but the plane he was on got fog-bound so Wolf had to use a local guitarist,I was heartbroken to say the least.

GIRL!! you are so lucky

I'll definately try to get a picture or two with him. I'm also thinking of asking him to sign my Gibson Les Paul, since I'm currently out of signature free Fenders (which is sort of a joke since I only have one Fender, pitifully). And I'd be embarrassed handing Hubert Sumlin a Squier to sign, even if it is a Squier that I particularly like.

I told my parents, and their reaction to it was "it's funny the things you get excited about". I got pretty much the same thing from my friends, except for a couple of them who also play guitar and know who it is I'm talking about. They freaked out.

I don't really think anyone will get a chance to jam with him, but you never know. Last year they had us take our guitars with us to go see Jimmie Vaughan just in case, and just the idea of maybe jamming with him scared me enough to seriously step it up and work harder on guitar since then. Now the idea of maybe jamming with Hubert Sumlin is like another kick in the butt to practice. Only this time I have six months notice and a year more experience, so hopefully I'll be as ready as I can be.

The headstock is different but otherwise it looks the same.

Good luck with your meeting.

I found this one which seems to be a perfect fit.

It is a Bartolini, maybe an Alvaro model? We can definitely see the first three letters ALV above the Bartolini name on the headstock of the Hubert Sumlin's guitar. I found a lot of interesting infos about exotic guitars on fetishguitars.com, thanks tgs.
Claude.

Great finds Claude........ Mike
