Robbie Kriegers Hallmark Sweptwing and the only known Myrtle wood Bigsby guitar:
Duane Eddys double neck Howard guitar. One of only two of Duanes instruments to survive the Nashville flood
The Green Goblin - nobody knows anything about this guitar other than its really green and has an awesome case:
Magnatone amp
Apparently Magnatone made these amps for a musician named Eddie Bush...he wanted his own line of amps.
The Excelsior amp was not used during the webcast but Deke gave me a tour of it afterwards. It was an Accordion amp maade be Sano for about a year, and the neat thing about it is that the reverb only comes out a pair of speakers in the sides for a sort of stereo thing.

Family picture (although Deke's signature Hallmark guitar and the Dano double neck are not in it)

I'm watching the video now... I cracked up when he tossed the doubleneck on the floor...
That Bigsby guitar sounded tremendous!
Is anyone making reproductions of those pickups?
Another guy that uses a Bigsby derived guitar is Ashley Kingman from Big Sandy's band. He also sounds great.
The Bigsby sounded rad...actually all of the guitars sounded great in person. My personal favorite was the gold sparkle swept wing....
I was facing the computer when he tossed the Danelectro and the sound scared the shit out of me. I didn't realize that he did it on purpose and thought something had gone terribly wrong

Weren't Danelectro made from Masonite? Tough wood. After reading your post about the tossing I couldn't wait to see that. A big giant blat sound
Cool cast dude!
Me too.
