A guy that plays here in Florida named Ben Prestage plays a home made cigar box. He makes his using broom sticks for the neck and the pickups are made out of sewing bobs wound with copper wire, it is then all grounded to bottle caps stuck on to the end on the broom sticks. He is a one man blues band playing all the instruments himself.

Lazing On A Sunny Afternoon

With my $150,000 Gibson 1958 "Flying V" guitar. Betcha Dave wishes he hung on to that one!



The story behind it was, I used to play a Guild custom built guitar and the airline lost it on our first American tour in '64 or '65. In those days I used to only carry one guitar around and I had to get a replacement quick. I went into a store and they didn't have anything I liked. I saw this dusty old guitar case and I said 'What have you got in there?' he said 'Oh, that's just some silly old guitar.' He got it out and I bought it for about $60.
