On these pages we share
vintage photos of musicians with their instruments. If you can identify
any of the musicians,
please let us know. We are indebted to
Guy Mackenzie, Paul Day,
John Doyle, Stefano Aria, Steve Russell, Jack Marchal, Mike
Robinson, Alfons Lahaye and
Tommy Dunne for their very
generous expertise in identifying most of the guitars. Where
possible, we have credited vintage guitar websites with photos. If your
website has been omitted, please let us know and it will be added. |
