This is a great read about one of my guitar heroes!
-
Is that "Pearly Gates" he's holding?
-
Naw don't think so. I'm gonna have to get me that though, Billy is amazing

Certainly looks like it - you can tell by the unfigured part of the maple top south of the bookmark line behind the bridge.
:twisted:

He didn't half have some ugly guitars in his time.
For example those weird objects they kept commissioning from Dean.

yeah but that one actually looks real though.

Although the stock Billy-Bo is pretty cool, this one is the bomb. Only 12 or so are made of these.

My goodness it's an unlovable mongrel :lol:
Seriously it looks OK but it would be greatly improved if it didn't look like the design was drawn on a napkin in a restaurant a-la Nigel Tufnel.

i always loved the furry guitars, although they'd be a bugger to keep clean! and that sucked explorer looks pretty cool, certainly makes me happy! :P

Just when you thought the Billy-Bo couldn't be bettered they go and make and white-falcon version. Anyone want to buy a granny? :wink: :lol:

Bought this and just read it on my longhaul flight from the US back to Brussels. Billy G. rocks definitely. I still don't get how he makes so much sound with a short scale and 008 strings ...
-
I ant get that magazine anywhere in OZ .
I am happy to pay if someone can buy the magazine and post it to me.
Billy is my idol. when someone asks me to describe how I would like to sound when I play I say "listen to ZZ top.... that guy playing Lead. Thats how I would like to sound"
I even started covering a strat in fur in honour of him.( I wont subject you guys to that photo again :lol: )
Anyways if anyone PM's me I would be much appreciated

I know bro...it's unreal!
I saw them in concert about 2 years ago and he had awesome tone at the show. I was really surprised when they played "Brown Sugar. " Now talk about a song with great tone!
-
Yes , that issue rocked. Billy is so genuine and laid back. i almost just bought it to confirm the strat sounds I thought I was hearin' on some of th old tunes. When I read it from the horses' mouth I was like, Yes! I knew that was a strat tone! Anyway, I have been seeing some cool youtube live zz vids and even ran into Van Halen doing "beer drinkers and hell raisers" at mach v!
