I remember long time back seein Lonesome Dave of Foghat play a black cigar shapped electric guitar in concert in New Orleans. It wasn't one of the cigar boxes in this thread, it was a real rectangle wood electric guitar. Does anybody have an idea of what I'm talkin about? If so who makes it and post a link to a site or picture of one for me if you can.
Thanks.

No, i dont think I've ever seen that guitar, have you tried googleing it, and see what/if that turns up anything.
I'll keep an eye out for it ;D

I got tired of hittin the next button searchin for it. Could be a 1 of a kind he had made special, who knows. I want to say I also saw BB King play one on some tv show years ago. Just cant remember. It's one of those things that bug you and stays knawin at your brain. I liked it cause nobody else has one. Maybe it was just too much mother nature at the Foghat concert.
