@gwmerr -I met Danny as well at a guitar seminar and you are right-he was a nice guy.I have never forgotten this one guy asking Danny to sign his jean jacket and handing him a magic marker.I figured he'd just quickly scribble something down but no-Danny was a perfectionist.He proceeded to take about 15 minutes to do his whole name in block lettering with 3D shadowing techniques etc.What a trip.It totally blew that guy's mind and I'm sure he treasures that jacket to this day.

I saw the Humbler in Berkeley CA. in 1978? with Robt. Gordon. That night changed my life...

@ncbloom Early 50s with a hollow spot under the chrome cover behind the bridge. That cover is on when he was not using a remote control box for an echoplex and some other effects that had controls in a box that sat in the routed spot under the chrome cover on his usual Tele. I think it was a 53. Danny gave Roy Buchanan a 50s blond Tele.. These two also shared a room in the DC area. Imaging Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton kicking it together. Now they are both gone by their own choice. RIP guys!

The greatest guitar player most people never heard of. In my book he was A #1 Awesome!

@buckbuck666 Yeah you're right. But he was well known to guitar players and recognized by Guitar Player magazine and various awards for his playing. Truly one of the greatest players that ever picked up a guitar.
