Description

This red top '58 Reissue was signed by Bill and Hillary Clinton for Kenny Vaughan. According to Vaughan, the guitar was signed by the Clintons at a Kim Richey show he was playing at the Bichemere in Alexandria, VA. He continued to use this guitar while touring with Lucinda Williams from 1998 through 2000. In addition to using it while on the road, Vaughan used the guitar on may recordings including Marty Stuart's album Badlands, Allen Jackson's Like Red On A Rose, Trisha Yearwood's Real Live Woman, Hayes Carll's Little Rock, and Emmy Lou Harris' All I Intended To Be. The guitar features the original factory installed Bigsby and a set of Tom Holmes humbuckers. Comes with a signed letter and a photo of Bill Clinton signing the guitar.
