So there are all these articles about how Chuck Berry was buried with "his beloved cherry red Gibson guitar". The pictures show a bright red ES-355 that looks like a guitar he played a bit from the late 60s 'til he got his darker 1978 ES-355 that he played until he died. I wonder if the guitar in the casket is the 1964 (?) that he toured with for about 12 years. The darker guitar was used longer than any other. Besides a bright red Lucille that showed up for a while, the beat up dark red one was his "#1"
