I bought that guitar, my guitar, the white one, I bought it from a friend of mine in Austin, named Bill Campbell.
And he was a blues guitar player in town, in Austin.
And he wanted a new guitar or something, so I bought it for $150.
And it's a parts guitar.
You know, like, back in those days, you couldn't go buy a set of pickups, or tuning pegs, or any of that stuff.
Really, you just had to get it off a guitar.
So it was like a race car.
And Stevie's was the same way.
And, you know, we played every night, we're on the road, we're playing every night hard.
And we had Rene Martinez was the guitar tech, Stevie's guitar tech.
And I bought a lot of guitars.
He had Charlie's Guitar Shop in Dallas.
He could do a fret job on both guitars between soundcheck and the gig.
And so a lot of times the frets would wear out, or you didn't want to change them, or you wanted bigger ones, or whatever.
And he could do that, you know, between soundcheck and the gig.
So, Rene Martinez, he was fabulous.
He was a good guitar, fabulous flamenco guitarist too.
And so, those were the guitars that we had on the road back in the day.
Every day, every night.
I think back then, I had twins.
I had two twins, and I had a Leslie.
I think the only pedal I had was a Tube Screamer.
And that was it.
So my first Fender guitar was, I went and bought a Nocaster at Arnold and Morgan in Dallas for $175.
And they said, what color do you want?
And they had a whole row of them.
They had strats too.
And so, I bought that guitar for $175, I think it was.
And I took it home and played it for a while.
And then, I ran away from home when I was 14 to be in a band.
And I left that one with Stevie.
The Stratocaster, it's beautiful.
It looks like a rocket ship, or a lamp.
It's like a ray gun.
What is it?
It's beautiful.
And Buddy Guy had one.
Buddy Holly had one.
And everybody had one except me.
And I remember the little black and white catalog Fender.
So I just always wanted one.
But I had a Telecaster first.
And then I got a Stratocaster later on.
It was a 58.
So it was only 10 years old when I got it.
Or less, something like that.
And they had racks of them lined up in the music store.
How does the Custom Shop recreation compare to your original one?
How close did they get?
I wouldn't know the difference.
You can't tell.
The weight, the way it felt, the way it looks,
and the color of it kind of turned yellow.
It's perfect.
So when you pick it up, do you get that comfortable little pair of shoes feeling?
Well, it was more like a trip.
Like it was a deja vu or something.
Like, what's going on here?
And everybody's looking.
It was a real trip.
Like I said, I just wish that Stevie could be here to see this.
Because we had so much fun all those years playing guitars
before we had records or anything.
And just discovering new guys.
All the records.
Lonnie Mack, Buddy [F] Guy,
[N] Albert King.
On and on and on.
We had hit records and Stevie had hit records,
so we were playing in big places.
Not stadiums, but big.
And a lot of outdoor things.
And we had a great time.
And then we would usually play,
whoever had the biggest record would open for the other guy.
Which was most of the time Stevie.
But we did pretty good.
We had the Tough Enough and we had a lot of stuff.
A lot of albums.
And then he would sit in with us and I would sit in with him.
With the six string bass and all that stuff.
We were living the dream.
When I first started playing,
I imagined myself in a room like this
with all my favorite guitar players.
And we went roundy roundy and when it got to me,
what was I going to do?
Because I couldn't do what they did, right?
So that let me start wondering
if I had a style and trying to develop it.
So that's what I would say to young guitar players.
Ask yourself, what do you do?
It's fun to learn stuff that you like.
That's how you learn how to play.
Imitating other people and trying to figure out what they did.
But it gets to a certain point where,
what do you do?
And that's the fun part.
You can ask your brain,
you can ask yourself, what do I do?
And it will tell you eventually.
So what happened with me was,
I found all these different guys.
Freddie King was from my part of Dallas.
So I got to see him a lot.
But a friend of mine's uncle went to England.
And he came back from England.
And they called me on the phone and said,
have you heard about this guy?
And he played it on the radio, I mean on the telephone.
And it was Eric Clapton, Blues Breakers.
And Eric Clapton was like,
Wooooo!
I've always been a giant Eric Clapton fan ever since then.
And that was when I was like 14.
So I never dreamed in a million years
that I would get to grow up and play with him,
and meet him, and record with him.
We like the same kind of music.
And he was a blues guitar player in town, in Austin.
