A little too steep for my pocketbook. Same for the Gibson Dove....

I wondered why he would be getting rid of guitars that are so important to him. It's for charity, and here he tells about letting them go, and what he's doing now.

So the ES355 was supposed to be used on their 1974 album, even though he bought it in 1976? Mystical rush guitar time travel!

No coffee needed...

+1 for the Buddy Rich reference. Slight veer… Got to see him live as a kid. He could outplay 99.9% of drummers with one hand literally tied behind his back.

Actually, I think BR did that once as a demonstration...of course, he was so humble...Johnny Carson show maybe?
I could swear I read Alex Lifeson say he recorded the early stuff mostly with a Tele.
I take it back: he usually writes and arranges on a Tele.

Yes Jeff, that WAS sarcasm...
I think it was Don Rickles who said he gave charm lessons to cobras...

Yes, BR was known to be a bit of an _ _ _ . However he had a good side. He posed for a great picture with his hand on my younger brother’s shoulder when he found out my brother was a drummer. My brother had it framed hanging over his kit for years.
