    Why did I expect Michael to play "Baby's in Black" when he announced he was going to demonstrate the Bigsby arm while playing Beatles tunes? Oh yeah, that's a specific instance in which George used it on record.
    Before I learned about different makes and models, I think my image of the electric guitar was based around this model, the Country Gentleman. I can almost remember being a little thrown when I saw pictures of footage of George holding the Tennessean.

    It's expensive, but there is really nothing like the sounds that come from a Country Gent. I prefer it through a VOX AC30 with Celestion blues, a close second is a deluxe reverb with the same Clestion. Is it more versatile than a Strat or LP? Probably not, but then again, neither are Rickenbackers.
