Help me out guys. Does anybody know what guitar Roy used live in Muskogee. I know he had a twin there, but never knew what he had for a tele there.

thanks for the help..........

I think it was his Blonde Tele with the blackguard... can't be sure though...

[EDIT:] No sorry, I was thinking of "The Fightin' Side of Me" cover.

Roy used (from the early 60's through the late 70's) a '53 blackguard Tele played through a Twin with JBL's.

I don't know much about the Roy legacy with Merle, but I'm with Johnny I. on that one, Don't know about the amp, but I'd heard the guitar was a blackguard '53 w/ alot of alligator checking on the original butterscotch blonde body, when it came up to the surface on the resale market later.
