Nice vibe here. Gretsch. Bigsby. Cool. Love the amount of grain/noise you're getting at a very mild ISO. Very effective, almost like Tri-X from the goodle days.
I'm in the middle of reading a book called Play It Loud, which is a fascinating history of the electric guitar. Good read if you're into music at all.
Thanks Peter.
The grain was added in post ... just kinda called to me for this one. Very atypical for the detail junkie in me. I'm starting to learn about things other than detail. 
"Play it Loud" ... will look into that.
I played around with the axe back in the 70's, but I was in the wrong place, wrong time. I should have been a blues guitarist and everyone wanted to teach me lead, rhythm or folk. I didn't even know what the Blues were until I ran across a John Lee Hooker cassette in a little Army PX in the United Arab Emirates after the Gulf War (of all places). Suffice to say, I'm a more accomplished photographer (reads, I have no talent on the axe) than guitarist ... but, will always have a place in my heart for bendn' 'em ... and those who actually do have such talent(s).
In that regard, I try to keep John Lee Hooker's "Boogie Chillen" close to my heart for my photographic endeavors, too.
I heard papa tell mama let that boy boogie-woogie
It's in him and it got to come out
Whether its finding out what's in me, and lettin' it out ... or findin' what's in others, and gettin' it out (or capturing it when it gets let out), I try to keep Boogie Chillen close to me. Can't speak to how well I (don't) achieve it at times, but I try to keep it close. That said, I do like some good axe work, since I am relegated to somewhere between the vicarious and voyeuristic creation of it ... well, you get the picture.
Thanks again.
