Young Photos of Famous Electric Guitarists
Steve D posted a great thread with a pic of a famous bass player before he was famous. Made me think about guitarists.
What are some pics of famous guitarists when they were early in their career, a pic that many people would not recognize. Here's one of a legend back in the late 60s back when he used to play Gibsons. This is the famous "The Fool" guitar. |

Great pic! I immediately thought of two people and one was correct (I won't give it away). The other guy I thought of was Charlie Christian

Reputedly, just about the only Jazz master to ever play a Jazzmaster. though I think it's a Jaguar in your pic.

What a great pic! I wasn't sure who he was so I googled him and found him. I've heard the name before but don't know who he is.
I actually thought it was this guy, from the '80s. Can you tell them apart? |

What a fantastic pic! The guitar Jimmie is playing (on the left) reminds me of the Framus "made in Bavaria" guitar I first learned on.

On the set of Lost In Space. Backstage with Duane at the Whiskey A-Go-Go. It turns out that June Lockhart was a rock and roll mega-fan. She paid The Hourglass to play a party at her home. Tthe top pic shows their visit to the set of her show. In return, when the Allman Brothers made it, they invited the cast backstage at the Whiskey. Bob

We went to the same high school, and I would often see him sitting in the cafeteria before homeroom. Who would have suspected the musical genius that lurked within the mind of Todd Rundgren???
