I don't think that aspiring jazz players like myself have such a fetish for their guitar heroes' instruments.

But a lot of guys shot heroin in the 40s and 50s, because they thought it would make them play like Bird.

I love my Gretsch Country Classic Jr. though -- even though I've never seen anyone else play one, including my own guitar heroes like Pat Martino, Lenny Breau, Joe Pass (and lately Bireli Lagrene).

Any time I do a gig or go to an open mic jam session, people always come up and ask me what the hell kind of guitar I'm playing.

Saw the Stray Cats a few years back, I believe Brian Setzer plays one of these.

He can play.
