EX-8 and big hair in 1987

[billsimmon]

Here I am holding my friend Dave's EX-8 (previously owned by Johnny Winter) in 1987. The guitar lived at my house for several months that year. He later sold it and doesn't remember where now. It was a monster -- very heavy. Dave often complained that the sustain was bad on it because of the Kahler tremolo system with the locking nut. Played like a dream though, like all Times.

Check out the hair helmet. Ah, the 80s.
