In honor of the great BO DIDDLEY who just passed away June 2 2008 at the age of 79, here are a few pics of
some of his weird but famous rectangular guitars. Bo influenced many of the rockers who have made history since the 50's.
Diddley influenced Buddy Holly who in turn influenced the Beatles, (Paul McCartney owns Buddy Holly's song catalog and song rights and the name The Beatles came from Buddy's band The Crickets), The Rolling Stones, The Animals, Bruce Springsteen, The Clash, U2, were among those influnced by Bo Diddley.
Notice the horn rimmed glasses similarity?
