If I'm not mistaken, Curly had C6th on the front neck.

I always heard people would tell Curly to play the front neck. Later on he had the C6th neck put on the front and E9th on the back. What a great player he was for sure.

I had a new MSA Legend built for me last year, and I wanted so bad to put the C6th neck on the top like Curly Chalker, but I was afraid that it would be hard to sell if I ever decided to sell it. I would rather have my E9th neck closer. I thought that was a brilliant way to set it up.

Thanks for putting that up. Now you've got me looking at all of his youtube videos.

Those old Wilburn Bros. shows were the best for sound. Chalker had the sound, boy. Just awesome stage sound and you couldn't beat that band. Well you could, but they'd just beat you back harder.
