And that's another thing: He's been looonnng since dead, and even though he's an awesome player, and way underrated, he's not relevant any longer. And I'm a fan. So again I say, who is gonna buy that guitar?I had to google who Terry Kath was
Youngsters, all you lot...So did I.
Soon to be 58...I'll take the compliment though!Youngsters, all you lot...
The Gibson one isn't my cup of tea, but it's kind of a cool story - made from an old sketch.
The $20k Telecaster - I don't understand. I had to google who Terry Kath was (sorry if that offends folks).
If it was HIS guitar - sure it's worth something. But a recreation...no chance of getting $20k from me.

Gonna say, I remember Terry Kath's name popping up in 'Chicago'? Almost thought it might have been The Moody Blues, but trusted my gut. Yep, Chicago it was.The Gibson one isn't my cup of tea, but it's kind of a cool story - made from an old sketch.

Also appreciate the compliment....but I'm 48Youngsters, all you lot...
For those who have not seen it, this is a great watch.
He was beyond interesting. Probably a little crazy. too.
Tragic ending!!!! But lots of happy little moments as his
daughter retraces his footsteps trying to get to know
her deceased Father.
"The Terry Kath Experience" is a documentary about a daughter discovering the legacy of her father: the late Terry Kath. Kath was one of the founding members of the band Chicago whose powerful guitar playing and husky, melodic voice has been praised by such icons as Jimi Hendrix, Joe Walsh and Eric Clapton. Before discovering his full potential as a guitarist and subsequent guitar icon, Kath's life ended tragically at age 32. Terry's daughter Michelle was only two years old when he passed, only coming to know him through his music and stories from her mother. After discovering a box of memorabilia, Michelle sets out on a journey to get to know her father and to search for his iconic lost guitar. In this documentary, Michelle interviews her dad's family, bandmates and good friends, as well as prominent musicians, to piece together the life of her father, one of the great unsung rock legends on the 1970s."
Maybe "not relevant" is a bit too strong. But he's not really spoke of very often at all. He was under rated in his day, and it just seems like at least 3 decades too late to be putting out a Terry Kath replica guitar. I've tried working up some of his stuff, and, fuhgettaboutit! Dude was a monster player, and his improvisational style was hard to beat.I'm sad to hear this. I think he's very relevant. Even still. His playing in Chicago was revolutionary. Legend has it that after a concert, Jimi Hendrix himself told him that he was a better player than he ways.
Early 70's I believe. And yeah, Chicago went in a whole 'nother direction.When did this guy die ? Early in their career and then they took on a different sound or was he there through their whole career ?

And the dude had a fantastic voice. Deep and mellow.
You know who got a freebie/loaner from Gibson to give us his compelling thoughts
on how easy the control panel is on the guitar to dial in at a gig.
Got his title wrong, though. "The Guitar Gibson Should Have Lost Forever."
