Kings of Nawlins "fonk" go it alone. Cue incurable itch in sacroiliac.
Named in tribute to the visionary guitarist and guitar designer, and awarded in conjunction with the humbuckin’ people at Gibson Guitars, this gong goes to a man or woman who has made a genuinely seismic impact on the ol’ six-stringed thing. Rest assured this year’s winner will have arpeggiated, power-chorded and vibratoed to a level unimagined by his or her peers. Previous winners include Jeff Beck, Peter Green and Brian May.
