daveinspain Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Very cool video.... That black 335 has a lyre maestro tremolo with no tremolo bar.... Doesn't seem to rob him of any tone either I guess he just doesn't like whammy bars. Sweet looking guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 .... That black 335 has a lyre maestro tremolo with no tremolo bar.... Actually, that is a mid-seventies walnut ES-355. Black was not an optional color during that era (cherry and walnut only), and the long Maestro was stock equipment on all 355's of the time. During part of the video there is a shot of the back of the headstock, look at the size of that volute, it's huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Well... I think one might argue what has been BB's "best," but any is awesome and this is well above that level. <grin> Seriously, as I've watched many longtime musicians through the years, I've a tendency to put them into two categories: Those outstanding talents who mellow and improve with age and those who seem little different from their early years attempting only to increase whatever it was that made them "known" rather than to relax and do what's inside. BB seems to me to be well into that latter category. And... I can't speak for BB, but I know I've had several guitars with various sorts of whammy bars and all have been worked to render them inoperable and "solid." m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Did you see "Ali" standing up and bowing, to B.B., at the end? LOL! Cool performance of one of his most beloved "classics!" Go, B.B.! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
