Back at 'ya, Al!

I thought I would post these photos I had posted in the vintage "legitimacy" thread, since I don't think there are any other existing photos like them in this thread.

The only problem I've got with these photo's is which of the buggers to use to replace the full guitar shot that's been my screensaver for years...

Magic Eric, just magic.

Eric, have you done any demo videos of this guitar?

Easily the most interesting burst out there, it sure does tell a story

 

[Stoj]

Killer Burst Eric, do you have closer pics of the headstock that Kim did ?

 

[slapshot]

and of the widows peak

The Memphis Mojo Burst makes a VERY brief appearance (with The Shades) in the rock documentary about the little known and critically acclaimed Memphis band, Big Star.

Saw it on Netflix. Check it out if you get a chance, great story.

[geddy402]

Are there any videos of this being played more recently?

 

[eric ernest]

The only one I am aware of is Joe Bonamassa st The Peace Center in Greenville, SC. 2012.

There may be a Lee Baker clip that surfaces some day.

Eric, Thanks for linking from the "How do you know" thread. I missed this original post, absolutely awesome!

Whoa how'd I miss the Big Star thing?

Memphis Mojo revisited.

I just made numerous updates to my website that has been dormant because of technical issues for the last two years.

I found many additional photos of the ol' gal and posted them. Some newer, some old.

It's a continuum. Enjoy.
