This. BB has played numerous different guitars that look exactly the same. Why do you think they're always nice and shiny, like they just came off the line? This is the case for many musicians and "their guitar", it's the model that they made famous, not an individual guitar.


The juke joint fire where BB rescues his guitars and forever refers to them all as "Lucille" occurred in 1949, the guitars were probably not electric guitars, photos from that era show him playing various acoustic guitars.

SRV's or Willie Nelson's


Tough one. From a pure historical perspective, Nelson's guitar is almost at the top; 50 years on the road and part of some of the greatest songs in that genre.

As far as value, I'd think SRV's strat would be worth more. There's Strat collectors all over the world...and they'd pay ridiculous amounts of money for something like this (5 out of the 10 most expensive guitars ever sold were Strats).

I'd pick Nelson's; can't put a price on history.

I love SRV like no one. But Willies is just history and unique as hell.
Good tough question OP

For now, SRV is the only right answer.

Willie still needs his and I don't like thinking about a time when he won't.
