George Benson Killer tone Unique Guitar

Billy and Chick did other stuff together too.
How about this lineup?!

Spaces was Larry Coryell´s third album as a leader.
The album was released 1970 on the Vanguard label featuring:

Larry Coryell on guitar
John McLaughlin on guitar,
Chick Corea on electric piano,
Miroslav Vitous on bass and
Billy Cobham on drums.
 
That's a Johnny Smith model.
(He wrote Walk Don't Run by the way.)
It also came in a 2 pickup model.
All electronics on both models were mounted to the pickguard
so that there was nothing to interfere with the vibration of the top.
It is an extremely resonant guitar unplugged.

Johnny Smith, Barney Kessel, Tal Farlow were the flagships in the early '60s.
The next page is the L5, Super 400 and ES 175, then the ES 3 series, followed
by a firebird page then SGs and melody makers and finally doublenecks.
Double necks were 12/6, bass guitar/guitar and mandolin/guitar.
(Yes, I have the 1964 catalog laying around somewhere.)

I remeber that song Tony.Alot of that music was wrote when i was a kid,(born in 58) but my parents had a big record collection so i grew up on everything from Santo an Johnny to Burl Ives to Kitty Wells to Buck Owens and every thing in between.
 
Santo and Johnny...

Johnny is still around playing oldies shows on his brother's steel guitars.
One of the times I worked with him he showed up with the
actual steel guitar Sleepwalk was recorded with.
I helped carry it off the stage after his set.
(Oh God please don't let me trip or drop this very serious piece of musical history...)
