GUITARS (continued):

• Famous Fender guitar players include Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Jimmy Page, Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, and John Mayer. Artists who have chosen Gibson have included Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Bob Marley, Sheryl Crow, Peter Frampton, and Joe Walsh. • The Fender factor manufactures about 90,000 strings a day, equaling about 20,000 miles in length, enough to circle the world. • In 2004, Eric Clapton sold his favorite guitar, a Stratocaster nicknamed Blackie at Christie’s Auction House in New York to raise funds for an alcohol and drug treatment center he had founded in 1997, the Crossroads Centre Antigua. The instrument fetched $959,500. • In 1998, a devastating tornado struck Nashville, Tennessee, felling a giant 275-year-old poplar tree that stood on the grounds of the plantation of 7th U.S. president, Andrew Jackson, The Hermitage. The Gibson Company built 188 guitars out of the old tree, inlaid with the name “Old Hickory” (Jackson’s nickname) and pictures of the president and his home. The first Old Hickory was donated to the Smithsonian Institute, and proceeds from the sale of the remainder were donated to support restoration of The Hermitage. • Some electric guitars have a lever attached to the bridge or tailpiece to enable the musician to quickly vary the tension and length of the strings to produce a vibrato or pitch bend effect. This accessory is referred to as a tremolo bar, or more commonly, a whammy bar. • The C.F. Martin guitar company was established in 1833 and to this day, remains in the hands of the Martin family, with the greatgreat-great-grandson of the founder as its current CEO.
