Musician's Corner
With GuitarMike
Being a musician myself and having so many musicians on
the site I felt this would be a nice addition to the site.
I plan on adding Tabs, lyrics, equipment info, recommended shops, etc.
If you are a musician and have ideas for this section please

Guitars
The guitars of Lynyrd Skynyrd have been immortalized by
the Gibson Custom shop and the artistry of luthier Tom Murphy.
He has taken the original guitars and made almost exact copies of them, right
down to the scratches and dings
put on these insturments over the years on the road with Skynyrd.
These guitars were made in limited numbers, and for those lucky enough to own
one, they are a dream come true.
Gary's signature Les Paul (Bernice)
Gary's signature SG (the Freebird guitar)
George McCorkle is a founding member of "The Marshall
Tucker Band" and also has a new signiture guitar.
It is made by Copley Guitars. These are great playing instruments at even
greater prices. I highly recommend these folks.
I have personally purchased 4 instruments from them in the last month. Check em
out.

and Fender amps.

Hughie Thomasson is currently using

Recommended Shops
I have been dealing with Doug and the folks at Musician's Discount since the 80's. I have purchased most of the guitars I have ever owned from these folks. They are great folks to deal with, and always have some great vintage instruments. Check em out!
For those of you who want to build, repair, restore, or just tweak your axes yourself, this is the site for you. A great source of Luthier supplies and tools. I buy most of my supplies here.
