Well I was talking guitars at work today with a friend and we came upon an interesting topic. He's gotten to do stage work for many different varied acts around town and we were talking about his crowning achievement, him meeting B.B. King a few years back. I told him how cool it would be to spend a few moments with a true guitar god like that and he said to me "I got to talk to him for about 2 minutes and I can barely remember what either him or I said because I couldn't stop looking at Lucille. I just wanted to grab it and play it for even 10 seconds." I got me thinking about my favorite players and their legendary guitars. Some of their guitars are almost as famous as they are. What would you rather do? Speak to a legend or play their guitar?
Spek to a legend while playing his Guitar.

I forgot to put in my previous post I have a photo in my music room of me touching a silver Strat that once belonged to Eric Clapton in the Hard Rock Cafe in Montreal,it bore his autograph.I read in an article recently though that a lot of these instruments are bought expressly to be signed and never owned as such by the artist,although this one looked like it had been played a lot.
