First Signature Model 12-String Named for an African-American Musician

(1/3) > >>

Mr.OMuck:
Just an aside, can anyone tell me which Guitar company was the first to name a model after an African American Blues-Folk Musician? They went on to produce the go to 12 string guitar of the '60's and 70's, which had huge sound but wqith a huge number of overtones too, which I think is the reson they never were popular with Blues players. I can't imagine though that if they weren't tuned way down they might not sound very good. I think they are cursed with being seen as fatally unhip.

Mr.OMuck:
THAT's RIGHT! MORGLAP GUITARS!...no not really...

big joe weems:
Ovation Josh White?

Mr.OMuck:
Right person, wrong company. Ovations. imo, were incomprehesably awful guitars, I've found more than one in the garbage with the top seperated from its turtle shell.

big joe weems:
Guild didn't produce their proposed Josh White model, so that's not it.
