    Johnny Winter was my first guitar hero. He said in an interview that the only effect he used was a bit of Boss Chorus. I first saw Johnny with Rick Derringer in 1970. They both had a stack of 7 or 8 Fender Twin Reverb amps.

      Johnny in 1970 with Derringer was my first concert ever. It was at Pirate’s World in Dania Bch, FL. They recorded half of the Johnny Winter And Live that night. Definitely a lifetime highlight.

    Hi Matthew, that guitar sounds amazing, but what's more important is that as the owner took good care of it, and I can imagine him, being so happy that is played and cared, by such a good player and good person as you seem to be. Take care. Congratulations to you and him.

    I have one of these with slight variations which came into the UK in the mid 1970s. My '64 or possibly a 1965 has the headstock pointing the opposite direction so the tooling was for the next edition. The guitar was purchased from Frank Lucido when the UK bands visited California, My guitar came via this method. Another excellent little film Matthew.
