Gibson
This guitar was given to Derek Trucks by Gibson in 2000 and autographed by dozens of his musical heroes in the years that followed. Trucks bought his first guitar at the age of nine, formed his first band at the age of eleven, joined the Allman Brothers Band at nineteen, performed as a featured member of Eric Clapton's 2006–7 world tour, and now serves as bandleader for the Tedeschi Trucks Band, formed in 2010 with his wife, Susan Tedeschi. He is known for his expressive playing that draws on blues, jazz, soul, rock, and classical Indian and Qawwali music from Pakistan. With his mastery of slide guitar, he is able to effortlessly transition between finger-picking and slide playing on instruments like this one. |
