Not sure if you are serious or not, but the hole in the headstock is not from a bullet. If that is something some people believe, it is obviously myth. That headstock would look nothing like that if struck by any type of bullet. That hole was drilled.

FACT: The Hole was from a pet termite that Leroy took along to all his gigs.

While I am not a RB fan that guitar oozes mojo and that is awesome that you as a fan got to pluck on it.

Hey Mr Buck Cannon

That is really amazing to see those pictures, well done getting a turn on Nancy, I, like you think its sad to keep such a guitar locked up in a glass cage and just a small part of a collection when in theory a guitar like that should not be a piece in a collection but at the very front of the soul of one player, just like Roy did with her.

I guess though we all have to retire one day, such a shame.

Id love to know what Mac Yusada paid to get his hands on that guitar, such a treasure.

Also get a link whacked on your website to this beautiful forum, I couldnt spot one... ;)

Keep the flame alive.

I'll always miss her and think about her often!
You should have her. :D

nancy

hey Buck dont know if I told you this story but someone I know spent sometime with Roy in round 1980 and he was not really satisfied with that guitar anymore, yet to the point to not use it on stage that very night and borrow my friends tele (a great 52) instead...I think my friend couldve trade guitars with him that very same day, but he didnt, oh well!
Lately I have been seeing an ACL video by him I think from 1977 and he really burns during that gig. When he is done, he just leaves the guitar leaning the drum set and walks away with that calm cool attitude...

Thanks for providing those pictures, Don! That guitar is just awesome. I can imagine just a little bit what you are feeling for this guitar because I kinda feel the same for a certain heavily modified Esquire...



I know many people here will frown upon this, but for me there is nothing like a beat up old Tele or Esquire... ;)

Too bad these types of instruments don't fall into the hands of institutions similar to the Smithsonian and their Strad violins. They lend them out to musicians (obviously the creme de la creme) to use for performances. If I understand correctly, the musician actually gets to use it for a period of time, not just one event, so that they learn how to pull the most out of the instrument.

I've read at least two interviews with violinists who had gotten this honor and they talk as though they've been presented the keys to the Pearly Gates.

As a violinist, this just makes me go

aden...

yasuda got it for a relative bargain price given it's historical significance as both a legendary player's instrument and an early fender... i believe he paid just a little over 10K... this must have been around 1989/1990 or so... tj

( yes yasuda... by the way don i've talked to several guys in LA who have played nancy throughout the years when it was in storage with one part of yasuda's collection... so yasuda seems to be cool that way... from what i've heard about him is that he's strictly a collector... )

Wow

I had seen the former pics of Nancy, but assumed she was over-seas never to return. It must have been a spiritual experince for you to hold and play such an icon.
Roy's DNA is still on that thang!


thanks for sharing!
