Bo Diddley and his incredible guitar

In the Documentary "Legends of Early Rock" Bo Diddley made an appearance. I had never heard of Bo Diddley before seeing him rock the stage. Other than the fact that he was incredible player, one thing stood out to me more than anything else.


I played guitar for a while, I never got too seriously into it though. I still really got into learning about types of guitars because it was fascinating to me. I had never ever seen anything like this. I decided to look up the guitar and try to find it. I ended up finding a remake of a different version made by Gretsch. The main thing about this guitar I loved was the fact that it had such an unusual shape. The rectangle shape is so different compared to all the curves that are common on other guitars. I love the straight edges on guitars more than just about any other visual aspect. Previously my favorite guitar was the explorer, but something about this guitar just seems so obnoxious and awesome that I cant help but love it.
