Since his tragic death 18 years ago today on September 13, 1996 (yes, he died on the anniversary of Biggie's Ready To Die), friends, fans, spectators and even those involved in the case have challenged whether Tupac Amaru Shakur actually died after being gunned down seven days prior.
Number One, also called First Wife, was the nickname given by Stevie Ray Vaughan to his favorite Fender Stratocaster, built ca. 1963. In 1974, he acquired the guitar as a trade at a music store in Austin, Texas. In 1990, it was retired due to many replacements of frets, though he continued to play it occasionally.
Toy had a Les Paul, a Goldtop with Mini's (I think) and played through a Fender amp. Probably a Pro or a Deluxe. He sounded the same at low volume as he did at high volume when he was using two twins. It was the thumb and his phrasing. Remarkably kind and gracious gentleman as was Tommy. BTY Joe is a monster player himself.
