TALES FROM NERDVILLE by Joe Bonamassa
TOOLS OF THE TRADE, PART 8
Joe Bonamassa discusses “Famous Amos,” an infamous 1958 Gibson Flying V. This guitar originally shipped from Gibson on May 28, 1958, to Arthur’s Music Store in Indianapolis. Sometime around 1959/1960, it was sold to a guy named Pete Mitchell, who was the guitar player for country music star Ernest Tubb. In 1965, Mitchell traded this Flying V for a Gretsch Country Gentleman. We don’t suggest doing that now!
