Joe Bonamassa Nashville hang....7 bursts in tow!!!

CDaughtry · 05-11-12, 06:31 AM

Guys...My wife and I had the pleasure of doing the Nashville hang with our buddies Joe B., Mike & Roy(Joe's manager). We even had a chance to do the bar crawl on Broadway the night before the show.
This show was extra special. There were seven bursts in attendance. In addition to Joe's three, and Tom's Sandy, Greg Martin brought his, Brad Whitford brought his, and a Nashville collector brought his.
We had a blast!
Here are a few shots from soundcheck. I'll get to the photos of the actual show a little later.....

Tonehawk · 05-11-12, 06:44 AM

Flat out awesome!

Did any one of the 7 bursts really stand out from the others in terms of tone?

Great photos - more please!

sharky · 05-11-12, 06:47 AM

we'd love to see a family picture, please

CDaughtry · 05-11-12, 07:00 AM

Here's Brad's burst. It's a 9 06XX series guitar. JUST KILLER!

Michael Minnis · 05-11-12, 07:10 AM

Awesome, Charlie! Can't wait to see more of your professional quality photos!

MikeSlub · 05-11-12, 07:15 AM

Charlie! OMG! Great stuff!

Humbuck · 05-11-12, 07:17 AM

Wow! Burst-a-riffic!!

wsaraceni · 05-11-12, 07:26 AM

spidey · 05-11-12, 07:47 AM

Nice that folks are lending out their original Bursts so they can get some professional "exercising"! I am a little surprised that Joe was wearing a shirt with metal snaps while playing a borrowed guitar? I would hope that didn't result in any new scratches on the old gits...

tdarian · 05-11-12, 08:04 AM

Thanks Charlie for the ring side seats.

CDaughtry · 05-11-12, 08:13 AM

Here's some sneak preview shots of the concert. The bursts sure are looking good aren't they?

Nobi · 05-11-12, 08:18 AM

I think im the black sheep in the family but that plaintop of Greg Martin ist the best looking, for me.

Steven · 05-11-12, 08:26 AM

What would this forum be,.... without JB ?

Nice pictures.

dretot · 05-11-12, 08:31 AM

Sandy got covers?

Cogswell · 05-11-12, 08:42 AM

I swear, Charlie, some of the guitar shots you've taken of Joe B. rival the classic posters of Jimi & Jimmy P. I had on my walls as a teen.

Ah, I see..... didn't think it quite looked like Sandy. I see Charlie edited his post.

Hurts me to look. I had to cover at work for a colleague who's wife had a baby yesterday.

Minibucker · 05-11-12, 11:12 AM

Guitar-Face duel.....aaaand......go!

Scott L · 05-11-12, 11:28 AM

Wow !!!!

shred · 05-11-12, 11:42 AM

It will be hard to beat 7 bursts on stage in one night.... Still, records were made to be broken...

It's a hell of a lifestyle...

hoss · 05-11-12, 11:42 AM

Beautiful experience! I might be going to Nashville (and visiting Gibson) 1st week of June.

wsaraceni · 05-11-12, 11:50 AM

so which burst is which in the photos?

CDaughtry · 05-11-12, 02:32 PM

My lovely bride and Mike...

garywright · 05-11-12, 02:40 PM

bursts and busts ...too cool ! ...thanks CD

esmin · 05-11-12, 03:09 PM

Cant believe this thing is 52 years old. It looks 2 years old.

BGReed2 · 05-11-12, 03:17 PM

That must've been an amazing evening. Joe and Greg - what a great pairing.

Amazing what color the Skinner Burst displays under stage lighting. Here is a picture of me holding the Skinner Burst at the Dallas Show just prior to JB's acquisition. See the greening?

Thanks for those pics of Brad's Burst, it looks amazing. The whole set of guitars looks amazing! Everybody here needs to go see a killer player like Joe playing a number of Bursts on stage, where else can you see something even remotely similar? I would have loved to be there!

Ya, the color is incredible on that one.

CDaughtry · 05-11-12, 03:56 PM

Here's the 58 from the Nashville collector. It's a wonderful guitar. Sounded killer!

Cody · 05-11-12, 04:18 PM

I hope the E and B stay in tune for the duration...

wharris · 05-11-12, 05:19 PM

I think it would be very cool if Joe is keeping some kind of journal detailing the individual playing/tonal characteristics of each burst. Think about it…you've got one guy, playing with the same touch, technique and amplification on all of these different instruments. It would make one heck of a read for us junkies.

CDaughtry · 05-11-12, 06:43 PM

Here's Greg going toe to toe and guitar face to guitar face with Joe....

joemags54 · 05-11-12, 06:53 PM

Over and over.....I just can't believe my eyes....... Thanks CDaughtry (one and all), and a special thanks to one of the coolest cats in the biz, JB.
