I saw a report on the news headlines that Bo passed away over the weekend,have had recently suffered a heart attack and a stroke........one of the most unique guitarists ever.... i think billy gibbons latest guitar design is a tribute to the man,in a world where most players these days all seem to want to be SRV when it comes to playing the blues,bo was one of a kind real get down and boogie grooves going on......

Apparently he had a stroke last year so it was perhaps not so unexpected.
I'll probably remember him most for his rectangular guitars that he always used.

Bo truly was "500% More Man" Sad that we won't hear the Gretch Twang machine anymore.

One of the latest greats of the blues, sad to hear�
Bo invented jungle rock and inspired the Rolling Stones, Pretty Things and you name it.
