Sonny West (Buddy Holly) Hand-Made CBG Guitar (C.C. Slaughter Ranch "S")

We are proud to offer our personal Sonny West #19 C.C. Slaughter Ranch CB electric guitar. Mr. West hand built this guitar in 2013. It is signed by him on the front.

About the guitar: is made of Northern Ash with Mesquite (from Abilene, TX) bracing and end pieces.  The sound hole is a free hand cut-out representative of the Lazy "S" brand of the famous early C. C Slaughter Ranch in Texas.  Has tone and volume controls and has an amazing vintage sound. Has Strat and Harmony style pickups and 25-1/2" scale, maple and rosewood neck. His guitars always have nice action and solid tone for any style of play.

Mr. West was undoubtedly one of the greatest influences on rock-n-roll history to date. He penned and recorded 2 of the most popular rock-n-roll songs known around the globe, “Oh Boy” and “Rave on”, which were later recorded by his friend and contemporary Buddy Holly. West is one of the original inductees into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame® and the West Texas Musicians Hall of Fame and is the recipient of BMI's million airplays award. His influence on musicians around the world is still evident today with the likes of Bruce Springsteen claiming “Rave On” as one of the best rock-n-roll songs ever written. On September 7, 2013, over 2200 guitarist convened at Lyme Regis, UK to simultaneously play “Rave On”, breaking the world record for most guitars playing one song. Like all of his guitars, this is an amazing opportunity to own a part of Rock-n-Roll history!

This guitar has been in our personal collection directly from Mr. West. Please feel free to ask any questions. Will come in a new soft case.

Best,

Brad and Team
