Location: Paris/France | One of my friend has found this picture in his files.
It's Johnny Halliday, the most famous French singer with an original Slothead.
I'm sure that Schroeder will be glad to tell you more about Johnny... :D :D :D
I don't know what serial is this guitar nor if he still owns this guitar today.
Can you identify this guitar???

Cholloway is right, it's #39!!
I've never thought that "John Halliday" on the Slothead reference document could me OUR French "Johnny Halliday"!! :eek:
It's something new for me and now, I have to find a way to contact Johnny for pics.
It will not be easy...

though he still looks too much like a bleached-blond Hasselhoff to inspire any regret....
"Where is that SlotHead," however is, a worthy question... |

Jeff W has such lousy taste in men. But look who he hangs out with, eh?
From the pics and volume knob info, must be a lefty. |
