    @Trogمنذ 3 سنوات Guitars of the Stars (GOTS for short) is a series that I plan to use to solve the mysteries of guitars in live performances + music videos.
    I plan id="hidden1" class="buttons"> to incorporate celebrity interviews when possible as well. Credit this time goes to:
    Which guitars do you GOTS to know about next? Submit to tradetrogly@

    That was not accidental, The Gibson headstock was functioning as designed.

    @sonofbarnseyمنذ 3 سنوات Bill didn't just play all the smoldering leads on Black Betty, but he came up with the revved up arrangement for it too. On top of singing it. The Ram Jam version is definitely his baby. 17

    @ToadstoolShadowمنذ 3 سنوات In 2015, I interviewed Bill Bartlett for a Reverb article on Mosrite amplifiers, as he'd toured the Mosrite/Bakersfield factory when on tour with the id="hidden6" class="buttons"> Lemon Pipers in early 1968. He's a fascinating man with some fascinating musical memories. I recall him telling me the story of all the mods he did on the "Black Betty" Gibson, but did not take notes. He told me he wrote one of the "Black Betty" lyrical lines or couplets, but did not claim any of the copyright, which I think he should have. He told me of attending Syracuse University in 1962 and some of his later-to-be-famous classmates: Lou Reed (then playing in a band called LA and the El Dorados); Felix Cavaliere (later of the Young Rascals): and Mike Esposito (later of the Blues Magoos). Talent! ....وسعت 4

    @alicewilson1913منذ 3 سنوات I like that this highlighted a heavily and uniquely modified guitar. I know collectors might look down on that, but when the work is done well I love mods id="hidden7" class="buttons"> like this, even more so when they're on vintage guitars. It could've just been another 50s goldtop sitting in a case collecting value and dust, now it's something totally unique and beautiful and I'm a big fan of that. ....وسعت 7

    @mikewhitfield2994منذ 3 سنوات It was actually recorded by Bill Bartlett’s previous band, Starstruck. But that band had broken up before Bartlett landed a contract, so the label “helped” him form a new band and the Starstruck recording used on Ramjam’s debut album. Awesome song, and Bartlett’s solos should by rights get a lot more kudos. ....وسعت 8

    @AudioEastمنذ 3 سنوات Ace's Deluxe of course. From the odd neck humbucker route, heel carve and head stock binding all the way to it's demise as a black double cut. That 7th fret inlay will get you there. 8

    @andyschwarmمنذ 3 سنوات I grew-up in Cincinnati at the time Bill was playing in local bands. He's a guitar God since day one, in the sixties. I remember he was able to get id="hidden15" class="buttons"> the exact guitar tone of the guitar in the song he was covering."over under sideways down'' comes to mind. I remember that guitar as a gold top. I'm 72, Bill's a few years older. ....وسعت 2

Ten years before that, they were a band called "the LemonPipers" that also had a hit song with "My Green Tamborine" ....وسعت 1

    @Jydmdمنذ 3 سنوات Ohhhh that's a great serie idea! I really love rig rundowns and things like that. When live shows were a thing, I always liked trying to guess what id="hidden20" class="buttons"> guitar models were using. Some tougher ones were Hedley's Dave Rosin blue strat with a transparent pickguard (it was a Warmoth build) and Simple Plan's David Desrosiers black and white Fender PJ bass (a Tony Franklin signature, with a pickup switch!). ....وسعت 1

    @billjehle6527منذ 3 سنوات The more I look at the headstock, I think he was aiming towards a D’Angelico New Yorker look. It has the same notched double scroll and even the deco style tuning pegs. 5

    @jasonedenilsonمنذ 2 سنوات Cool story. I started a band a few months back with some older folks in their 50’s and 60’s (I’m 24) down in Miami and our keys player was married to the bass player of ram jam. Sadly he’s gone, but she told us tons of stories and that’s when I first heard this song. She’s one of girls on the motorcycles in the back throughout the music video. ....وسعت 2

    @goss1961منذ 3 سنوات An idea for an episode.'where are they now?'
    There are famous guitars that disappeared into secondhand-land and are now lost. Some, like id="hidden26" class="buttons"> Jim Hendrix's Flying V, were identified. But where is the red Telecaster Clapton used in the Yardbirds? And the semi bass played in the Yardbirds? The Gretsch hollowbody John Lennon used for Paperback Writer? The stripped natural Strat with the broken pickguard Jeff Beck used in the early 70s? Does Richie Blackmore still have the ES335 from the early Deep Purple days, and if not, where is it?
