jff Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Everyone knows Jimi Hendrix is associated with the Stratocaster. For Springsteen, it's his Fender Esquire. For BB King, it's Lucille. Willie Nelson, Trigger. etc. But sometimes they play something different. Let's see some photos of guitarists playing guitars (or other instruments) other than what they are best known for.

jff Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Willie Nelson playing a Strat. I guess I don't know how to embed youtube videos...so here's a photo of him playing a Fender Jazzmaster: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When you are creating a post, there's an icon above the text area that looks like a Polaroid photo. You click on that and a box will pop up in which you can paste the photo's url. Garcia's a good example. The Tiger guitar (or whatever it's called) became his iconic guitar, but there are photos of him playing all sorts of other guitars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
