If you could choose to see/try a collection


E-minor7

Recommended Posts

Yes, I do it – launch another weekend game thread. Got the idea from BigK's thoughts about Stephen Stills' collection - which I'd like to see myself - and have others on the list :

 

Neil Young.

 

Mick Jagger (acoustics).

 

James Taylor

 

, , , , to name a few.

 

This could easily be a future guitar magazine trend -

For which and whose herd would you like to be guest sheppard ?

Great idea Em7.

 

As I mentioned on the other thread, Stephen Stills' collection.

 

And since I'm a 12 string nut - Leo Kottke.

 

 

I got a peek at James Taylor's vault in a video. Can't remember where that was.

 

<edit> I found it Em7 - Man, I'd love to see him go through the whole herd. . B)

I follow you guys - and have to add Elvis Costello.

 

From there I'll drive to Paul Simon and have a sensitive deep talk about acoustics and rehearsals.

 

I know Young has a 1950's J-50 with him on tour for the hotel rooms. That one I would like to try.

 

Which brings me to the sub-topic :

 

Superstar ! , , , show us your secret Gibsons. . . .

I dunno about that. I'd be to afraid it would fall apart after the first strum and I would be the guy in the history book as killing trigger [scared]

 

 

I think Trigger has been resurrected so many time that he/she is impossible to kill.

For me, it would have been the Scott Chinery(RIP) Collection....

 

I think I heard Chris Martin say Scott wanted a Larsson style Martin ( one big bout one little) Chris said they couldn't do it .

So Scott said the price didn't matter . Chris said it would cost 50 ,000 + because he would be paying for the tooling and fixturing .

If I remember correctly the guitar was completed after Scott died .

Here's some new criteria:

 

most comprehensive: Mac Yasada? Although Gere is in there. Any generic well-heeled rocksta'.

most Gibson-centric: Gary Burnett. Amie Mann?

most esoteric: Ry and Lindley?

personal interest: anyone with some 00s, L00s, resos and a slot 12. Steve James comes to mind/

Yes, right on. Though he auctioned a lot of it last year or something, he kept the cream.

 

And what cream. . .
