Odd Duck

Recommended Posts

I was looking through my favorite search engine last night for Gibson SJ 200 and ran across this. It's an odd duck. It's a J 200 modified by P.A. Bigsby for Lefty Frizell in the 50's. Wild huh?

There is a really great book out about Paul Bigsby by Andy Babiuk which includes loads of information and detailed pictures of most of his instruments he built or modified including this one. Everyone should check it out. It's a must have for your library.

Well that figures. It appears to be an SJ 200 in a long black veil...

 

Ten years ago on a cold dark night

someone was killed 'neath the town hall light.

The ones who saw, they all agreed

that the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.

 

She walks these hills in a long black ve-eil,

She visits my grave when the night winds wa-a-a-a-a-a-ail

Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows, but me.
