THE PALM PEDAL GUITAR!!!
Forrest Lee Jr.
Lick Of The Day
3-8-2024
This is THE historic Palm Pedal guitar my old friend Boomer Castleman had heavily modified.
Boomer invented the Palm Pedal. We became good friends later in his life, and he was an honorary Bendegos brother! I miss him. He was larger than life, if you knew him, you would absolutely agree. And you wouldn't know it if you just met him at a guitar show or NAMM, but he was a bonafied rock star, country star, hit songwriter, and session guitarist.
But his biggest contribution to music, was his invention of the palm pedals that Bigsby took a chance on, and marketed! This guitar is kinda like Les Paul's Log. Or Clarence White's Original B bender. This is a part of bender history.
Clarence and Gene did that strap pull B bender that Marty Stuart still plays, in 1968. Boomer invented this bender around the same time. but he put it in this heavily modified 1969 Rosewood Tele and it's the guitar you saw in all the print ads, brochures and Boomer playing on sessions.
I know this is the guitar on Michael Martin Murphys album "Geronimos Cadillac"
And I'm sure a lot more sessions from 1970 on.
I was born in 1970 and as far as the guitar as we know it. it was as well.
I will be posting videos with it. starting tonight for my lick of the day.
I invite all of you to play this iconic guitar at the Nashville, Franklin #Amigos Guitar Show
and at #DIGF
