Sonny West (Buddy Holly) Hand-Made Electric Guitar #36 (2014)

Description: We are proud to offer our personal Sonny West #36 electric guitar. Mr. West hand built this guitar in 2014. It is signed by him on the front in which he also inscribed "Rave On", his famous song written for Buddy Holly. About the guitar: is made of Northern Ash with Mesquite (from Abilene, TX) bracing and end pieces. Has tone and volume controls and has an amazing vintage sound. I actually played this one when I first received from Mr. West 10 years ago and it has a really nice sound. Has Strat pickups with a Harmony neck. His guitars always have nice action and solid tone for any style of play.Mr. West was undoubtedly one of the greatest influences on rock-n-roll history to date. He penned and recorded 2 of the most popular rock-n-roll songs known around the globe, “Oh Boy” and “Rave on”, which were later recorded by his friend and contemporary Buddy Holly. West is one of the original inductees into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame® and the West Texas Musicians Hall of Fame and is the recipient of BMI's million airplays award. His influence on musicians around the world is still evident today with the likes of Bruce Springsteen claiming “Rave On” as one of the best rock-n-roll songs ever written. On September 7, 2013, over 2200 guitarist convened at Lyme Regis, UK to simultaneously play “Rave On”, breaking the world record for most guitars playing one song. Like all of his guitars, this is an amazing opportunity to own a part of Rock-n-Roll history!This guitar has been in our personal collection directly from Mr. West. Please feel free to ask any questions. Will come in a new soft gig bag.Best, Brad and Team
