And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Billy is playing me hometown city Boston tonight.I saw the boys last Sept. in Providence with Frank,was the last among many shows thru the decades seeing them.
I would have gone tonight but already had tix for Maiden and Megadeth,have not seen Maiden in 42 years....,should be fun!
I used Google Image Search- 1- ZZ Top guitarist Billy F. Gibbons posing with his custom 1934 Ford Coupe hot rod, known as the Whiskey Runner, alongside a matching custom guitar. 2- Epiphone Hummingbird Studio Acoustic-Electric Guitar in a Trans Ebony finish 3- EVH Striped Series Frankenstein Frankie Electric Guitar with Eddie Van Halen's famous red, black, and white striped design.
That might be one of Eddie's actual parts caster "Frankensteins". Tone pots have been removed, as has the pickup switch. Those humbucker PUPs don't have to be perfectly straight to work fine.
OK,for S&G's looked to see how tix for ZZ were selling,turns out show moved to tomorrow night,got a pair 14th row,gonna be a tough week for this old guy!

Frankie has seen things.
ReplyDeleteAbout the Frankenstein guitar: Why would you want the second set of pickups installed slightly offset (installed at a bit of an angle)?
