A friend just posted this on fb. Any idea who's the guitar player ( and no, despite of the looks and the Gretsch it is not a young Chet Atkins Winking )???

Nice picture! I've got no answers, just more questions. What amps are those? And how about that Cubism meets Road Runner cartoon backdrop?!!

That came from a Standel add. Those are Standel amps. I believe the photo is from The Riverside Rancho.

Cool photo.

Is it Buddy Merrill? I've looked at a bunch of videos of Merrill from the 1950s to compare and see some similarities in the hairline.

The pic appears to be taken at the same location as this one, possibly on the same day, judging from Joaquin's shirt. The Roadrunner backdrop is different, but you can see the pic of Tex Williams (?) on the wall. This one was used as a Standel amp promo pic.

Absolutely. Jimmy.

Question: does anyone know if Jimmy is related to Billy Luttrell?

I was thinking about Jimmy Luttrell but I've never seen a picture of him.
