One More Guitar

559 views

While visiting Tunica MS I came across an amazing museum dedicated to preserving the history of the blues. From it's birth in the Mississippi delta to it's eventual spread to the U.K. and the rest of the world, this museum covers it all. I'm only showing some of the items they have on display, if you ever have the chance I highly recommend going to see all of the cool stuff they have!

Freaking outstanding video Kyle!! You coulda made that an hour or two long and it would have been fine with me. Thoroughly enjoyed it! That must've been a killer place to visit. Thanks for, 1.) Taking the jaunt to Tunica, Miss. to find this place and film what'cha found. 2.) For the editing to make this video. Truly a killer piece. Take care brother man!! Here's to the Atlanta Braves and hopefully a World Series Championship. Ain't looking like they'll finish off Houston tonight in Atlanta, but it ain't over yet. Top of the 9th inning as I write this.

What a great road trip! I am jealous, Kyle. We have nothing like that in North Idaho. Thanks for documenting your trip like this.

Awesome video Kyle, somehow I can't seem to get the "Diddley Bow" out of my head, it seems like something I would be able to play. I might just try to replicate it for fun and see how it comes out. Maybe one day one of your guitars might be on display somewhere with some story behind it. Wouldn't that be the ultimate coolest thing? , oh and they won't forget to add the smoke and lights too.

That 1960's 335 signed by Chuck looks like it's been robbed for the tuners, the truss rod cover and the pickups 🤔 maybe even the other parts but those are the most common parts to get robbed in order to out fit the many fake 59 Les Paul guitars and stuff like that !
Eddie van Halen got his humbucker in his original frankenstrat from you guessed it , a Gibson 335 from 1959 or 1960 so that Eddie van Halen tone is all P.A.F on a strat copy into a Marshall turned pretty much all the way up on all the knobs, but to me the secret ingredient is that P.A.F harmonic goodness !
