badgeholder Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Looks like an awesome exhibit. I've seen some other photos from it, they have a bunch of serious guitars there, like SRV's #1, and EVH's complete set up. Also spotted Jerry Garcia's guitar. If you go, please share some photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do museum rules allow cell phone photography by the general public?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I’m sure Jimmy signed off on it, so if it’s good enough for him, I guess we’ll have to endure. Just glad he was out being seen playing the guitar recently. Better at a museum than nowhere.

strombringer101 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Seeing Jimmy play those cords put a smile on my face. Man I wish he would just get on stage and jam. I am pretty sure he could find whoever he wanted to play with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think if one looks at every frame of say TSRTS I'm sure one would find that pose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniemouse Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Has the curators done that pose deliberately so the viewer can get a better look at the guitar, rather than relying on Jimmy's style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I thought, too. I’m sure the purpose of the pose is to focus on the guitar and the stance is one of action (per TSRTS).

It's temporary. When the exhibit opens to the public Jimmy will be in the display case posing with it, thus achieving his goal "to be seen playing live".

I rather prefer the idea of Jimmy being "housed" in the exhibit with the amplifiers. If you put a token in the slot...he'll come out and respond to you, with one of 5 statements in answer to any query. ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mis Nomer Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It must be quite strange to being looking at your prized possessions (i.e. guitars aka mistresses, wives) on display in a very well respected museum. Peering at them and wondering what happened! Life goes by in a flash, Master Page grabbed the ring early and steadily moved toward his goal/dream. Thank you Master Page!

Urozep Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 So I saw the exhibit this weekend. Liked it a lot. Jimmy is on film playing bits of Stairway, Kashmir and Communication Breakdown. All with commentary about the guitars etc... Pretty cool but a shame he has become a museum artefact as opposed to a working musician!!!

Right now he is WORKING on that hot tamale he has and doing his best to make her sing. In other words, he skipped right over the gigging part and went straight for the after-party. Good for you Jimmy, you earned it...this Scarlet's for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nech Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Been to the Met so after not being on here for almost 3 years figured I'd share some pics. Folks there were ok with cellphone, but definitely objected to flash photos. I filmed the entire Jimmy video but can't post that up on here. If I ever load it up to youtube I'll post link, but I suspect most of you have already seen it anyways. If you're in town definitely worth the $25 bucks, unless you gots a library card. I'd love to have a talk with Perry about the BB as he says it's been restored. I'd like to know when and to what condition. For the life of me I can't see any evidence of there being 3 toggles on this. Unless it was covered up 45 years ago and then aged to the condition it's in now. Too bad they had the guitar mounted in a way so you couldn't see the back and any other tell tale signs of the extensive routing work Joe Jammer said he put in. I don't recall seeing that guitar with pickup covers since pre RAH, yet this one has well aged covers. The #1 is just something you need to see in person and just be in awe of it. The Dragon sadly has also been restored to the same condition as the one you can purchase at the Met store so also kinda hard to believe it's truly the original. I now question all the stories of it being ruined beyong playability and the neck being re-used in the Botswana brown tele. Anyways enjoy these. I got a gazzillion more but these are some of the coolest ones. I definitely plan on going back again before it all goes off to Cleveland. To be seen to be, but not being played.
