This ad came out right after I took my wife to see Johnny and Edgar Winter so the timing was perfect.

The man played from his soul for sure. Only saw him once back in 1992 in Milwaukee at the Eagles Club. I was about 10 feet in front of him the whole evening watching him play his Steinberger and jamming the **** out.

Johnny Winter Captured Live was the most influential album of my young guitar playing self in the 70's. He was phenomenal.

Thanks for that Rabs.

btw what are "stonkers"? I am assuming butt kicking good, to use the american english (especially the southern US) vernacular.

That's bloody stonking mate!!!!

 

I was fortunate enough to see his 1st gig in England - in Albert Hall (with Edgar) - and then at Bath Festival 1970 same night as Floyd, Steppenwolf.....

 

STONKING!!!!

 

Superlatives are bandied about (and comparisons are invidious) but Johnny Winter was one of the greatest blues guitarists ever.

I saw him in 1987 in Little Rock. It was freaking stonking man.

 

 

(Was that appropriate usage? Just asking). I dunno. Sounds adjectival. Whatever, I mean you guys invented the language.

 

I am a hack on this. Maybe Capsmaster has the answer.

I think that first guitar he played was an Epiphone Coronet. They sell for thousands today.

The second guitar was a 12string Fender. May have had mini humbuckers in it.

Was it not a Wilshire? I think the Coronet was a one pup guitar??

Dunno Rabs. I wasn't familiar at all with the Epi Coronet until recently. I only spotted this Epi because of the batwing headstock. There are several varieties. The Wilshire may be called the Coronet Crestwood Wilshire. I saw a Coronet 1964 for over $4000
