Designed by Phil and Don, this guitar is the ultimate acoustic guitar for rock and roll. The brothers played J-200s at first, but were virtually destroying a pair of them every month by crashing them into each other, plowing them into michrophones etc. They went to Gibson with an idea for a more durable rock and roll acoustic guitar--thus, the oversized pick guards. I understand Albert Lee has a pretty sizable collection of "Everly Bros guitars", including the prototype which was given to him by Don. Don't you just love the star fret markers?
