Richard Thomspon may just be the best flippin' guitar player on the planet.

 

Goin'further back you had Wolf with his Kay, Scotty Moore with Elvis' J-200, Paul Burlinson whose first electric was an acoustic with a telephone mic taped to it, and on and on.

 

Then of course a little later on you had this guy.

Hendrix was mind-boggling. It's a shame he didn't live to pursue more acoustic "blues" like this.

 

Those two chicks in front are really diggin' it. Don't think that's a Marlboro they are passing between them.......

Amen Brother. When I joined my first rock band in the mid-1960s the only "electric" guitars we had were acoustics with DeArmond 210 pickups slapped across the soundhole. I still use the DeArmonds today. Maybe young 'uns forget that acoustic guitars banging out at least the rhythm in rock bands were not uncommon in the 1950s and 1960s. Sure would explain the popularity of the Gibson J-160
