I was a rock 'n' roll road manager in the 60s for Michael Bloomfield,
The
Electric Flag, BS&T and others and when i think how we treated those
"classic"
guitars (and drums, Brian). Michael never used a hard case for his Les
Paul
(Sunburst, humbucking pickups, probably worth $20k today). Eventually it
started
spliting down the tuning machines but he wouldn't let me get it fixed.
Finally
when the splits hit the second fret I just didn't give it back to him
after a
gig and a true artist named Minor Wilson repaired it. You couldn't even
tell
unless you knew that it had been fixed. Classic bike content? I wish I
could
repair classic bikes as well as Minor could repair a classic guitar.
That's a
reach, huh?
