Roy also used Les Paul Jr's, Goldtop Les Pauls, and some Les Paul's with humbuckers too. His "You're Not Alone" album has some great Goldtop P90 tone.

When I chatted with him around '83 or so, he was using 9's on "Nancy".

First heard about Roy when someone got a Rolling Stone during my tour of Vietnam

First opportunity to hear him on vinyl was an off label LP Called Buck and the Snakestrechers

Put it on the turntable and at first it sounded like a bar band--until the first guitar solo!!!

Remember, he developed his techniques when there were very few if any pedals. It was his hands and the tele into the amp

Got to see him numerous times--from auditorium to club settings. He blew everybody away each time--blues, rockabilly, anything he played

Roy Buchanan American Axe is a great biography

I think they still make the Fritz Brothers Buvchanan tele that he started using toward the end of his career
