Johnny Winter is LITERALLY the only blues player that needs to exist. He can do everything any other blues player can do, and do it better. John Mayer should count his lucky loving stars that he's permitted to exist in the same reality as Johnny Winter.

Buddy Guy is worth keeping too fyi. But other than him, I agree.

Agreed? Yeah his pick sperging is a little weird (Or I just feel hurt that he's never shown any love towards RedBear or pure steel picks) but he seems to be a nice guy with a poo poo load of knowledge relative to guitar playing.

*white, imo.
On another note anecdotally, this guy I knew named Speedy who worked for Columbia back in the day and was a huge Hendrix follower said he got to hang around the N.Y. studio in summer of '68 when Hendrix jammed with whoever was in town, Bloomfield, Johnny Winter, etc. I don't recall if he said it was during the Electric Ladyland sessions or what.
Speedy was particularly amused when Hendrix and Winter would swap styles in the middle of some riff so Winter was doing the Voodoo Child licks and Hendrix played Texas blues style.
This has been an anecdotal blast from the past.

Current Guns n' Roses lead guitarist Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal owns this thing (read about it on his website)





He also has hand and foot guitars:

haha don't worry about it, bort's got a thing, idgi but it's really not a big deal.

On that note hey bort, if you get a chance you should try red bear picks, I especially like their tuftone material and it's not too expensive. Also, Clayton makes some really nice pure steel picks for mega cheap, try them if you haven't :)

I am starting to think there are far more ugly guitars than good looking ones.

Just give in to it. What's better: rocking some tobacco sunburst strat or Les Paul, or walking out onto the stage with a neon chartreuse RG with matching inlays? In your heart, you know the answer.

Not really the best actuary in the world.

I look at this guitar and think that the color must be a safety feature. Like, if you are going to play in the middle of the street late at night. You want cars to see you.

Or, well, it's got a handle, you could carry it while out jogging or something.

use all of these so you cover every market segment, even though it's the same lotion in each bottle, maybe with a different scent
