What's Your Guitar's Story

Some musicians name their instruments. The more famous

guitars would be Eric Clapton’s “Blackie” and “Brownie”,

Stevie Ray Vaughn’s road worn “Number 1”, and of course

BB King’s “Lucille”.

Dobro players also have famous guitars such as Josh Graves’ “Julie”

that has a fantastic story to tell.

Josh purchased “Julie” in Johnstown, PA for $70 and later sold it to friend.

When his friend gave it back to Josh later, it was stolen in Syracuse, NY.

The amazing part of this story happened three years later.

See page 61 http://www.steelguitarzone.com/Dobroists_Scrapbook.htm

for the rest of the story.

These guitars have become as much an identity as the musician themselves.

When was the last time you saw a picture of BB King

without Lucille? Not likely I say.

I have a friend who’s trombone doesn’t have a name but
