Interestingly enough, I had an Uncle that worked for Gibson, in Kalamazoo, before they moved everything to Nashville.

I always assocoate certain guitars with certain artists, too.

White Firebird - Johnny Winter.

Sunburst Les Paul - Jimmy Page, Gary Moore, Gary Richrath & tons more ....

I have not sold very many over the years, but I did have a Flying V and an ES335 at one point. I wouldn't mind owning a white Thunderbird Bass, to match the Firebird. And, as untraditional as it is, I would like a Rainsong acoustic. They are 100% Carbon Fiber, and play & sound amazing.

Well Doug, I lucked out and guessed most of them. Even the ES335. Most people associate that one with the likes of BB King, but the Nudge played one for years. Gary Richrath...........man.......loved his style, but did he ever fall off the face of the earth. He was basically thrown out of the band, and his replacement, Dave Amato, is every bit as good, if not better IMHO. I didn't hear of him passing, so I assume he just went into hiding.

Another fav of mine on the guitar is Vito Bratto, from White Lion. A truly Eddie VH competitor again IMHO.
