Duane Eddy (born April 26, 1938) is a Grammy Award-winning American guitarist. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
Duane Eddy was the first Rock and Roll guitarist to have a signature model guitar.
In 1960, Guild Guitars introduced the Duane Eddy Models DE-400 and the deluxe DE-500. A limited edition of the DE-500 model was reissued briefly in 1983 to mark Eddy's 25th anniversary in the recording industry.
The Gretsch "Chet Atkins 6120" model has long been associated with Eddy.[3] In 1997, Gretsch Guitars started production of the Duane Eddy Signature Model, the Gretsch 6120-DE.
In 2004, The Gibson Custom Art and Historic Division introduced the new Duane Eddy Signature Gibson guitar.

Gretsch Guitars has just posted some NICE interviews with Eddy heralding the introduction of THEIR Duane Eddy signature model! I've added them to the Duane Eddy playlist on my channel (along with this song), where over 400 of the best artists of the past century are honored, each on their own playlists. And you can hear them in the context of their times on 112 more lists for every year since 1900. chuck
