Thread Name: Folklore: Decorated instruments
Subject: Folklore: Decorated instruments
Woody Guthries' guitar had the phrase 'This instrument kills facists' on it. Jimmy Rogers' guitar had the word 'Thanks' stenciled on the back of his instrument, which he flipped around to show the audience when he finished his show. For the life of me, I've forgotten what Pete Seeger has on his banjo. Could someone please remind me what it is? Does anyone know of any other uniquely decorated instruments? I just thought it would be interesting to know.
