Love the "stage" treatment

Interesting location for the Emmons logo on the front of the guitar.

That's a Marshall half stack. Bobbe just left it in the dryer too long.

Bobbe is this the Sally studio WFIL ?

What kind of six string is the guy next to him playing?

Bo,
I used to watch Sally Starr on WFIL in Phila, and I don't remember any stage like that.

Glenn-
Don't know about Bobbe's amp,but the six-string to his left looks a whole lot like a Micro-Frets.

Here's one for you, Bo. http://western-swing.blogspot.com/2011/ ... l-sal.html

I don't know the amp, but the guitar looks to be a Fender Starcaster. Designed by Gene Fields they were manufactured roughly from 1975 until 1982. They were a semi-hollowbody design, and were never very popular. They come up from time to time on e-bay.

The guitar is a Micro-Frets

The guitar is not a Starcaster. I had one. The Starcaster had an offset shape, kinda like a Strat shape. Not a bad guitar,,,,, but not popular. Mine was blonde, and very curly. Sold it to Gruhn. He wanted it bad.

My mistake. The headstock resembles the Starcaster, but the body is too symmetric to be a fender. Definitely a Micro-Frets

Boy, is my face red.

Gary,

Does that look like a 10" JBL in that amp?
JB

Gary Jones · Post by **Gary Jones** » 27 May 2011 1:25 pm

The best I can say is could be a JBL 10. The aluminum cone kind of points in that direction, but I really can't be sure.

Is it time for my medication yet?

It's time for mine!

It has WEBB control buttons on it and a 10" JBL -
Maybe it is a Webb Short Stack.
