Shopping With Greg Lake

At Stings ’N Things in Memphis, it’s not uncommon for a rock star or two to stop in before their concert appearance to say hello and browse around a bit for guitars. Since we built our first customdesigned Les Paul Personal in ’72 for Jeff Beck, many people have contacted us in search of their dream guitar.

At Stings ’N Things in Memphis, it’s not uncommon for a rock star or two to stop in before their concert appearance to say hello and browse around a bit for guitars. Since we built our first customdesigned Les Paul Personal in ’72 for Jeff Beck, many people have contacted us in search of their dream guitar. As a result, visiting performers have become friends and regular customers.

One of our most recent visitors, Greg Lake of Emerson, Lake and Palmer was not a total surprise as the film crew that preceded him gave us ample notice of this visit. They were in the process of making a documentary of ELP’s tour for the BBC, &nd their specific purpose at Strings and Things was to capture Greg on film, in one of his favorite pastimes—guitar hunting.
