Lemmy Kilmister of Mot\u00f6rhead\u2019s Rickenbacker 4004LK Bass Guitar, \u201cTheRickenbastard.\u201d<\/strong> This piece is half instrument, half medieval work of art. A carved relief of oak leaves adorn the sides, along with gold hardware, three Rickenbacker humbuckers, and white checked binding.To get his tone, boost the treble and mids and play at the loudest volume the room can take. No pedals necessary.<\/p>\n

\"JohnLennoncasino\"<\/p>\n

John Lennons\u2019 1965 Epiphone E230TD Casino Hollowbody Guitar.<\/strong> You can spot him using this guitar for the impromptu rooftop concert as well as The Beatles\u2019 Shea Stadium performance in 1966. Here the original sunburst had been sanded down to natural \ufb01nish and the pick-guard removed.<\/p>\n

\"TheShaggs\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Shaggs\u201d Eastwood Avalon AV-2T guitars<\/strong>. This band is famous for a few reasons: their outsider lo-\ufb01 60\u2018s garage musician status, being one of Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain\u2019s self-proclaimed favorite bands, and for the unique Eastwood AvalonAV-2T guitars this trio of gals played.<\/p>\n

\"prince_8_1\"<\/p>\n

Prince\u2019s Cloud Schecter Guitar.<\/strong> First seen in the early 80\u2018s movie “Purple Rain,” the Cloud Guitar series has been a staple in Prince\u2019s collection. Maple, brass nuts, gold-plated, and on closer inspection, Love Symbol inlays as fret markers. These were custom ordered exclusively for only his own use.<\/p>\n

\"bootsy-collins\"<\/p>\n

Bootsy Collins\u2019 Space Bass.<\/strong> The Parliament-Funkadelic bassist, and previously part of James Brown\u2019s line-up, played several versions of the star-shaped custom-made bass guitars during the 70\u2019s. Later he contributed to a line of glittery basses including the \u201cBootzilla\u201d by Traben and the Warwick Rockbass Artis Line signature Bootsy version.<\/p>\n

\"Atlanta's<\/p>\n

Poison Ivy\u00a0Rosarsch\u2019s Orange 1958 Gretsch 6120 Hollowbody<\/strong>. While going through a vintage tube amp, dripping with tape echo sound, this double cutaway, hollow maplebody with a Bigsby tremolo tailpiece completes the retro fuzzed up rockabilly Cramps sound.<\/p>\n

\"willienelson_trigger<\/p>\n

Willie Nelson\u2019s Martin N-20 Nylon-String Classical Guitar a.k.a. \u201cTrigger.\u201d<\/strong> Since 1969, this legendary guitar has been played at well over 10,000 shows, recordings, and jam sessions. When asked why he chose the name, he said \u201cRoy Rogers had a horse named Trigger. I \ufb01gured, this is my horse!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Elizabeth-Cotten-309x450\"<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Cotten\u2019s Sears and Roebuck 1904 Acoustic Guitar a.k.a \u201cStella.\u201d<\/strong> (Cost at the time: $3.75). A self-taught left-handed guitarist, and creator of the alternating bass style known as \u201cCotten picking,\u201d Elizabeth Cotten liked to play this right handed-guitar upside down. Twenty \ufb01ve years after retiring as a guitarist, Folkways Records picked her up in the early 1960\u2019s where she went on to inspire a generation of folk revival artists to cover her songs – Doc Watson, Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez,and Taj Mahal, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

\"(L
(L to R) Bob2 with Gibson L6-S Custom, Bob1 with LaBaye 2×4 \u0093Six\u0094, Jerry Casale with modified Gibson Ripper, August 1979<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

DEVO\u2019s Bob 1 Mothersbaugh\u2019s La Baye 2×4 Red Eastwood Guitar with Bigsby,1967<\/strong>. As you can see, this is basically a 2×4 board bolted to a guitar neck. The threeway pickup select placement has been said to resemble a ri\ufb02e trigger, but I\u2019m not sure this guitar is intimidating in that sense. Everything about this guitar says \u201cDevo\u201d – angular, assertive, choppy, silly. Have you ever tried to play one of these sitting down?You can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\"albert_king_B\"<\/p>\n

Albert King\u2019s 1958 Gibson Flying V a.k.a. \u201cLucy.\u201d<\/strong> Known as one of the \u201cThree Kings of Blues Guitar (along with B.B. King and Freddie King),\u201d Albert\u2019s best-known works with Lucy are on dozens of Stax session mega-hits. There were a few \u201cLucys\u201d in his career apparently, the \ufb01rst reportedly stolen, the second underwent severe damage in a tornado. His last Lucy stuck with him until his death in 1992.<\/p>\n

\"st-vincent-live-ernie-ball-970x545\"<\/p>\n

St. Vincent\u2019s Ernie Ball Music Man Signature Model.<\/strong> Designed by Annie Clark of St.Vincent in 2015, this unique mod guitar has three mini-humbuckers, a \ufb01ve way custom pick-up selector, a tremolo bridge with vintage bent steel saddles, and a bright blue \ufb01nish hand-mixed by Annie herself. The guitar is light, practical for touring and long shows. When asked about the squared off thin waist, she said \u201cThere\u2019s room for a breast. Or two.\u201d<\/p>\n
