Jimi Hendrix' First Burnt Guitar on auction

You are an old pair of Humbuckers 

This thread has really struck a chord with me too. Cheers

They were named 'strings' from the trubadour Blondel - who whilst searching for his master Richard the Lionheart would wander around the castles of europe singing a ballad that he and Richard had written - namely - 'See the stag - what a pretty stag - I'd love to shove the antlers up Prince John's arse' a witty banter between master and minstrel.  When Blondel found the Castle Zeeburg in Austria -(Well actually I made the name Zeeburg up - because I cannot be bothered to search it) where Leopold was holding Richard for ransom (That bit's true) he sang the song and Richard lent of his window (I made that bit up as it was actually just an air vent) and sang the rest of the ditty - then Blondel danced for joy and  Richard shouted out - 'Be quiet you noisy bastard -or they'll guess you have found me, you always were too highly strung'  And from that day forth the gut used in making notes on all wood instruments were called strings.

And if you believe that - then seek medical assistance

Yes my apologies there - it's my Mute button - it's got snot in it from a sneeze a month or three back.

I was thinking of feeding Wikipedia with that priceless information. I blame my wit on being the result of a mixed marriage.

Here's a musical question - Had Jimi Hendrix lived and had played guitar with Nik Kershaw - would his smash hit beknown as 'The Jimi Riddle' ?

Was that the same guitar which turned up at frank zappa's house in pieces and dweezil renovated and auctioned for charity (and ended up buying it himself)?
