Gretsch Bo Diddley Electric Guitar
Based on Bo Diddley’s Signature rectangular guitar, the “Big B” is built to the same specs as the original. The Firebird Red semi-hollow body measures a whopping 17-3/4 inches by 9-1/4 inches. The body is constructed of alder and five-ply maple and features FilterTron pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, a “G” cutout tailpiece and plenty of gold hardware. The tree-piece rock maple neck has an ebonized rosewood fingerboard with dot pearl inlays, a black 1957 Duo Jet headstock and a special Bo Diddley signature on the truss rod cover. Sells for around $2k

One of his original rectangular Gretsches is on display in Lipham's Music here in Gainesville, the same shop Tom Petty used to work at back in the day. |

That's pretty cool, looks like a cigar box though.

You can see the original in this pic, about 10 or 12 feet to my left. I'm the bassist. http://a669.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...a80cabe81c.jpg |
