What's the whole story behind Buck Owen's red/white/blue accoustical guitars?

In 1966 Buck and The Buckaroos had their instruments painted red, white and blue, an extension of Buck’s innate patriotism. When these instruments were seen on Hee Haw, guitar manufacturers began making offers to him to market a guitar in those colors. Though Buck used a red, white and blue acoustic guitar built for him by Semie Moseley of Mosrite Guitars, his business sense told him an expensive model of that type wouldn’t sell to the public. He finally licensed Chicago Musical Instruments (makers of the prestigious Gibson guitars) to market a $99 acoustic model, and received a $2.50 royalty on each sold. He knew that Sears would market them but had no idea they would sell as well as they did --until the first royalty check came. "The very first statement, they sent me $15,000," he laughs. "I said, ‘Oh, you mean THAT Sears!"\nSee Buck Owens Official website for more.

David Rawlings, who's one of the greatest unknown musicians ever, is the lead guitarist for the duo known as Gillian Welch, but his role is much greater than that. Co-writer, Co-producer, arranger, and vocals. He also plays banjo sometimes with The Old Crow Medicine Show using the name Butch Hobson.\n\nHere's a link to an excellent article that orginally appeared in the New Yorker. If you ever get a chance to see them perform, you need to make sure you do!\nhttp://www.puremusic.com/gillian02.html

I do not know the manufactureer of the guitar, but I can tell you that it was up for sale on eBAY and just ended without a buyer.\n\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Zakk-Wylde-original-Glory-Guitar-Live-and-Loud_W0QQitemZ7403279173QQcategoryZ2384QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\n\n-RIPWAD

In his 60s psychadelic phase he was a Rickenbacker player but from the 1970s onwards it was a Fender Precision Bass he was always seen with.\n\nSome photos below...

I assume you are asking about electric guitars? Accoustics are a different kettle of fish....\n\nI'm not up-to-date but I used to be pretty active in the 80s. At that time, and for many years before that, the most popular production guitars were probably the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul.\n\nBut even in the 80s, a lot of serious guitarists were getting custom guitars built for them or building them themselves in some cases.\n\nFor a more up-to-date answer, visit your local music store or check out a guitarist magazine like Guitar Player.

Only Robert Johnson and the devil know for sure. His friend Willy Brown said the story was true, but who knows for sure.\n\nYou search for both of their names together and you'll find some great old stories, like this one:\n\nhttp://www.cr.nps.gov/delta/blues/people/robert_johnson.htm\n\nHowever, his telling of the event in "Crossroad Blues" can only leave you wondering where the influence for the song came from.

Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser wrote the song. He was the lead guitarist for Blue Oyster Cult.  Awesome song!

I saw a show on the Discovery Channel showing how a guitar is made. Sorry I don't remember how they painted it. But you could go search the website to see when that show is on.

More than likely, its a model or serial number.  Here in Houston, there is this place that has been selling/repairing guitars since 1972, maybe they can help.  Check out the website http://www.rockinrobinguitars.com\n\nYou should find the contact info there.  Good luck!

The classic publicity photos of Peter and Gordon do show them playing a Gibson J-160E guitar and a Gibson B-45-12.\n\nThere are also photos of them both playing Gibson J-160E's...

I think I read in January 2004 Bass Player Magazine that his favorites are the Gibson Thunderbirds. He probably has others too, but I think these are his primary instruments.

Pretty sure it was a gibson les paul.  Semi customized of course to Mr. Deville's liking.

Double neck Gibson S.G. \nSunburst 68 slim taper neck Les Paul with mini Humbuckers\nhe had a Danelectro/silvertone guitar that I've seen him play in clips.\nALl these guitars are notable due to the fact you see them referred to as "Jimmy Page" guitars/models when they are advertised on e-bay
