Steve Haynie Posted May 7 Posted May 7 I hated playing that song, and usually I hate seeing others play that song. If the singer cannot nail it, do not even try. Brent Smith is one of the few people who can pull it off. 1 1 Quote

Steve Haynie Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Rick Medlocke was playing an Ibanez Destroyer in the early 80's. During his time with Lynyrd Skynyrd he has played a Gibson Explorer. 2 Quote

Saul Goodman Posted May 8 Author Posted May 8 I thought it was an Explorer, I've just never seen one appointed like it so thought it may have a different name. Also, it seems more pointed than the ones now. Maybe it just looked better on him. Or, has there been changes in the design over the years? Quote

He added it in the 70s, and although a rare guitar, it wasn't worth nearly as much "$3-5K" as it is now... and he played the hell out of it "as a tool" not a collectors piece Edited May 9 by Dave Scepter 4 Quote

I knew one of them dudes used a Destroyer. Turns out it was Medlocke. My bad. Edited May 9 by RobB 2 Quote
Jakeboy Posted May 9 Posted May 9 Collins used the whammy bar a lot, especially live. Ed King did as well on his Strat. 2 Quote
