Aside from being a fantastic musician JD is also a musical historian. Great content.

I still have the Original Tom Wheeler Guitar Book, which has Mike with exactly that Strat in it! Used to drool over it as a young kid. Great JD!

Mike Bloomfield is the first guy I ever saw holding a burst Les Paul. And the first guy I ever saw playing blues riffs. Darn fine job presenting this Stratocaster, Mr. JD. Carter's can feel free to send this one to me ... I will properly store it and never take it out and play it ... yeh, right.

Love it! I just got into Mike Bloomfield a few months ago thanks to an older fellow I look up to at the local blues jams. I wish I would have known and appreciated about how great of a guitar player Mike was when I was a teenager.
Ummmm......nice history lesson with no demo. 😂 Couldn't include at least 20 seconds to play it a bit?

This is all fantastic. But, man, knowing as much as I can about Bloomfield and the cats who played with him? The idea that is axe would be some high dollar thing moved around for huge money would sicken him just as much as he hated the idea of chasing the almighty dollar aka fame above all else. He said it himself when he talked about playing stadiums, they were nothing to him compared to the higher bar of trying to emotionally move small congregations of folks on the old south side whom came from nothing. Keep on keepin' on tho. When the Dalai Lama moves on maybe you can sell some stuff from the temple too, it "means a lot to history."
