I just stumbled on this little clip of a guy playing one of Quine&#8217;s guitars, bought from his estate in 2004. It&#8217;s kind of poignant, at least to me (especially with the text accompanying the post, copied below), so let it be the start of this week&#8217;s All-Star Jam, where you bring to the table whatever musically relevant topic is on your mind.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div id=\"watch-uploader-info\">This guitar is one of three I purchased as soon as the collection went public after his passing in 2004. I purchased them in 9\/05 and have owned all three in the videos. He had 2 triple sunbursts and each one is totally different. The Barcelona triple sunburst has a fixed bridge, tremolo but bridge was anchored so I left it that way. The other, which is the one in the video, had a floating Quine feel and was amazing. The tone and ghost of Robert is all over it. I bought these becuase he used Fernandes Stratocasters with Lou Reed on tour, and on Blue Mask. I saw Quine in 1984 with Lou and am a true fan. Talk to Rudy Pensa on 48th Street in NYC about Bobby if you have a moment. Thank you Charles in Tokyo for the purchase of this instrument. Hope you hear Robert Q when you hold it.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may know already that I&#8217;m a big fan of the late guitarist Robert Quine, who was first known to me as the guy behind the unbelievable short solos on Richard Hell &amp; the Voidoids&#8216; &#8220;Blank Generation&#8221; only to blow my mind a few years later on Lou Reed&#8216;s The Blue Mask.
