Killer trini. I remember talking to Dividedby13 owner and they just had found this guitar. It sounds great too.

I grew up with Rusty, we were in rival bands in High School. Folks here saying he's got something special going on are very right--even back then you could definitely see it.

Rusty's High School band "Eulogy" would play a great gig of mostly Bowie glam covers (with great vocals by Miles Crawley) then we'd all go to Rusty's folks house for a little party. Rusty would sit at his piano and play any song we'd call out, then teach us all the parts to play along. We'd try to trick him up and have him play some old Genesis or Yes (which my band use to do) but he had it all down.

He had a great ear and feel even as a young lad.

You really know when somebody has that gift, it's just there.

Rusty helped "Divided By 13" get started. I think he fronted a bunch of money for Fred to get him going. I noticed one of my old "Rangemaster"'s on his pedal board. Rusty bought like five of them a number of years back when I could still get decent germanium transistors. Last batch I bought of OC-44's I got burned on for a few hundred bucks..
Rusty's truly a nice guy!!

There isnt a slack player in that whole band, and dear god, Abe, Mac's drummer is just the most slamming cat on earth!

Does anyone know if Rusty's blonde 335 is vintage or a 59 reissue. I had always thought it was vintage but a guy over at TGP who said he knew Rusty said that it is a reissue: there is some cred to that given that a blonde 59 is something like 80k.

I wanna know what kind of deal McCartney made with Satan to keep delivering like that at 69 . . . . and if I could get the same arrangement.

Standard 'Rich and Famous' contract!:fu

Just saw McCartney on his European Tour. Great show, great band, lots of vintage guitars on stage :yah

Anyone knows more abou thet other 335 is that Rusty plays? He used it a lot and it sounded amazing.
Looks to be a late 60ies stoptail conversion. Any further info on the year, other mods done to it etc. would be appreciated!!
