Charlie Allen (Incognito guitarist) info?

1956 Gibson ES-125

Very early in my electric guitar journey I almost bought a Firebird (which sounded great), but the downside was obvious even to clueless teenage me, and I passed. Vees and Explorers never appealed...

A friend who knows KB personally, told me that was legit, so I too contributed.

Charlie Allen (Incognito guitarist) info?

I'm kind of lucky, I guess. I've never really had much GAS. When I was starting out on the guitar, back in the seventies, I lusted after a Strat. I bought a new one with money from my Saturday job. I...

Mental check on buying a good guitar

I have 21 guitars ranging in value from a low of say $700 (A Warmoth partscaster Strat) to a high of say $18,000 (A Non cut D'Angelico Excel). They all get used on gigs, but I do take into account...

Bass guitar or double bass ? What do you prefer here ?

Never mind, see that you posted it.

Can you elaborate on this a bit or give an example? I'm trying to come up with more of these. Thanks

I guess there's been no update since the controversial gofundme a few years ago. I contributed, hope he really needed it.

Kenny Burrell Trio (1990)

Regarding point #1: I can assure you that owning and gigging with a "valuable" 1990 Benedetto Cremona does not suck at all. What I find ironic is this: let's just place a dollar value on my guitar of...

I saw Tal Farlow with Red Norvo (and Monty Budwick on bass), that same year at Donte's in North Hollowood. It was great seeing them play many of the songs they released in the 50s.
