  • Who would have thought that a guitar preserved in actual bronze would still be playable, let alone iconic? But that’s exactly what happened with Robbie Robertson’s 1954 Stratocaster, an instrument that gained worldwide notoriety when it was featured in the 1978 Martin Scorcese concert film "The Last Waltz".
    Since the film's release almost 40 years ago, the guitar has achieved legendary status within the guitar community. Watch as the man himself explains the thought process behind the original design to Fender Master Builder Todd Krause

    I attended The Last Waltz concert at Winterland Arena in San Francisco that Thanksgiving. The promoter, Bill Graham, supplied everybody with a complete turkey dinner before the show started. I danced with my girlfriend in a special roped-off area near the stage to waltzes played by the San Francisco Symphony ballet orchestra. Scorsese was there filming the concert which was edited into The Last Waltz movie. Winterland only held about 5,000 people, so I've often marveled at how lucky I was to have been able to attend this historic event. My undying gratitude goes to Bill Graham, The Band, and the overwhelming array of superstars who played that night. I was touched by an angel.

    Came back just to hear him tell this story again. RIP Robbie. You inspired so many and will continue that tradition for generations. Hope you and Rick Danko are jamming up there.

    Robbie has forgotten more life experiences than most of us will ever have.

  • @BUNKERJR53

    Love the guitar and loved the Band especially Robbie. What a loss. May he "Rest in Peace". His playing will live on forever. He's still playing looking down on us.

    Rest in peace, Robbie Robertson

    Hmmm all the people on here knocking his playing.. maybe you should sit down and watch the Last Waltz, and turn it up! Great unique style all his own. Also listen to all the incredible songs he was a part of writing. So he doesn't shred, but he's an incredibly important guitarist/musician and songwiter in history. The line up of the Last Waltz alone, shows his and his band's influence. Cool guitar!

    My wife and I were dating when this movie came out and we watched it at a drive in theater. That guitar caught my attention that night...and, of course, Robbie's playing. His playing is often so understated; minimal. I can listen to Robbie all day long...such an extraordinary person, musician, and storyteller. R.I.P.

    How amazing would it have been if he opened the case and was like "Man, what a piece of shit."
