Number One was not a '73, it was either a '59 Strat or a '63. Also, the strings were certainly not up to .018's. Stevie often changed the high E from a .013 to a .012 or .011 because of how much damage the .013 caused to his fingers. Any thing larger than a .013 would be just about impossible to play.

]]> Comment on Famous Guitars of Bluesmen by Rory for Ever http://play-blues-guitar.com/lists/famous-guitars-of-bluesmen/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Rory for Ever Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:21:08 +0000 http://play-blues-guitar.com/?p=12#comment-4 Regarding Rory's guitar. It was his only main guitar ever during more than 31 years in his whole career, since he bought it second hand for £100 in 1963, through Taste(1966) until his final shows in 1995. In Rory's words: "B.B. King have hundreds of Lucilles but I only have a single 61'Strat and it even doesn't have a name". It was stolen and remained off Rory's hands during a week until it was found abandoned. Rory considered it an extension of himself.
