Interesting Web Site from University of Illinois

Post by Fred Shannon »

Just browsing around the web looking for a pic of my old Rickenbacker Lap when I found this site. Looks like a good reference or research area to me. Whatta' ya' think?

I know one of the Physics professors who teaches some of the courses listed on this website. His name is Steve Errede. He knows more about old fender amps than anyone I have ever met. He plays guitar in a local Blues band called the Painkillers. He also has a D10 Carter. He said he bought it because he liked the design. I'll have to ask him who it is that has all of these old lap steels.

You know I already post3ed and said that I went to the site and really enjoyed it but what I didn't say was that I have spent over 6 hours there in the last few days looking at all of the pics and I'm only about 2/3 rds of the way thru all the vintage stuff. I'm not sure exactly how many pics they have but I'm going to guess some where around 4 or 5 gigs of pics.

There are some instruments on there that I didn't know even existed. Thanks again for the great find!
