Big Joe Williams 9 String Guitar


















Check out these photos of Big Joe Williams Guitar. He's the guy who wrote Baby Please Don't Go with the proto punk line "Before I be your dog".
Note that this is a nine string guitar. According to Wikidpedia it was tuned as follows: Open G, like such: (D2 G2 D3D3 G3 B3B3 D4D4), with a capo placed on the second fret to set the tuning to the key of A. Note on the back of the guitar you can see where the belt buckle wore away the finish. Frankenstein beautiful!
