    I read somewhere else that only 172 of these ever were made, between 1969 and 1972. Super-rare. Great playing, Mike!

    I’ve owned my Crest for decades. I love it! I installed a Bigsby tremolo which gives it a unique feel and sound but still has the sweet tone of the mini humbuckers which can be as cranked up as you want. Added Schaller tuners and a gold adjustable bridge. It’s a keeper!

  • @ryanfulldark2775
    @ryanfulldark2775 2 года назад +8

    It doesn’t have a volute so that tells me 1969 or early 70. Amazing guitar, I especially enjoy the lacquer sinking on the body. Amazing tone.

    "Who draws the crowd and plays so loud
    Baby it's the guitar man
    Who's gonna steal the show
    You know, baby, it's the guitar man
    He can make you love
    He can make you cry
    He will bring you down
    Then he'll get you high
    Somethin' keeps him goin'
    Miles and miles a day
    To find another place to play
    Night after night who treats you right
    Baby, it's the guitar man
    Who's on the radio
    You go listen to the guitar man
    Then he comes to town
    And you see his face
    And you think you might
    Like to take his place
    Somethin' keeps him driftin'
    Miles and miles away
    Searchin' for the songs to play
    Then you listen to the music
    And you sing along
    You want to get the meaning
    Out of each and every song
    Then you find yourself a message
    And some words to call your own
    And take them home
    He can make you love
    He can get you high
    He will bring you down
    Then he'll make you cry
    Somethin' keeps him movin'
    But no one seems to know
    What it is that makes him go
    Then the lights begin to flicker
    And the sound is getting dim
    The voice begins to falter
    And the crowds are getting thin
    But he never seems to notice
    He's just got to find
    Another place to play
    Either way
    Got to play
    Either way
    Got to play"

Reminds me of Stevie ray vaughn but Stevie always knew what he was gonna do and it was ripping through some licks and striking that strong emotion, he was also amazing on slow stuff too though. I just wonder how good this guy can get and how long he’ll keep doing this show. Love watching wish you the best
