Crosby, Stills & Nash
These guys still put on a great show.
Very cool 12 string guitar. A friend of mine knew the history and sent the following to me.
They still make beautiful music together. Catch them on tour if you have the chance.
It was made by Rick Turner.
Rick’s response to being asked (the headstock logo showed it as an Alembic, one of his brands from a long time ago):
I put Crosby's guitar together at Alembic in 1970. The body was a Gibson "Crest", Mario Martello made the Brazilian rosewood neck. I added the LED side markers, made the stereo pickups and the welded bronze tailpiece, made the electronics drawer, and Ron Wickersham made the preamps. Everything still works, and David still swears it's the best sounding 12 string in the world.

I have been attending several concerts lately thinking this may be the last time to see some of the rock icons from the late 60's and 70's. Some of these guys may be in better shape that they were 20 years ago. Long live rock and roll.
Best,

I just had a conversation about CSN...
My good friend who brokers tickets mentioned that they will be in L.A. in October and the tickets are doing really well. Glad to hear you enjoyed the concert and that they sounded good.

It's gotta be the rosewood neck . . .
. . . that produces the tone, Jerry - same effect as with pool cues. Resins crystallize as rosewood ages, which allow the wood to resonate more sweetly.
Always loved CSN/Y - their country/folk influence, vocal harmonies, and most of all, the music.
Never did music and the generation it sprang from complement each other so well.
And, most likely, never again.
