I'm seriously down with SRV as well. If you are ever in Austin, there's a statue by Town Lake. I used to catch Sixpence all the time before they signed nationally on Sixth Street and at Stubbs.

Anybody familiar with another Austin icon named Eric Johnson?
Eric Johnson? You're kidding right? If you call yourself a guitar player, IMHO, there are other players you should know about, and EJ would be one of them. It would be like if you were a history teacher and didn't know much history. "Cliffs of Dover"? A great example of awesome tone.

Here's another one that almost landed in my hands. It's a 78 Les Paul Artisian with 3 humbuckers. Very sweet indeed.

Billy, you need to upload the pic to a photohosting site and then link the URL. Try this one (although are plenty of others like Flickr):

OK...I think I may have figured this thing out...at least I hope. I came very close to getting this 78 Gibson Les Paul Artisian about 3 months back. The collector is a local guy who specializes in mandolins, but gets other pieces every now and then. Image

I can't keep my eyes away from Tonesmith though. I love that retro bigsby and it has so many tonal variations. Image

Here's another - it's a Huss and Dalton CM with cutaway made right here in VA. Has a stereo pickup system installed:
