ROCK AND ROLL
Bo Diddley
McComb, Mississippi, 1928
Archer, Florida, 2008

El rocker del Mississipi y su famoso ritmo –bomp, ba-bomp-bomp, bomp-bomp- no pasó desapercibido para los hombres de Chess Records. El padre prehistórico del rap inventó sus propias guitarras (¡una Gretsch roja rectangular!). Fuzz, distorsión y rock and roll.

Guitarra: GRETSCH G6198 Bo Diddley

For five decades, Bo Diddley has been turning heads with his great chops, incredible showmanship and outrageous guitars. Now it's your turn! The G6138 is a faithful reproduction of the famous rectangle-shaped guitar Gretsch built for Bo back in 1958.

Measuring 17-3/4" x 9-1/4" x 2" and made of alder and 5-ply maple, the eye catching Firebird red semi-hollow body features two FilterTron pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, Gretsch "G" tailpiece, and plenty of gold hardware. The 3-piece rock maple neck has an ebonized rosewood fingerboard with "dot" pearl inlays, a 1957 style headstock, and a special Bo Diddley signature on the truss rod cover.
