Tony Cochran Guitars Custom # 65

This electric guitar, Derringer, was named after Biff Hooper's Dad's pretty little gun. Biff was a large man, maybe 6' 5" and pushing 300 pounds. He played pathetic podunk penitentiaries all around the South preaching a salvation that didn't necessarily involve the Lord. He would volunteer a free concert, set himself up behind a chicken wire cage that he gaffed himself, and play soaring wordless solos so beautiful that they just sometimes made men want to be better people. More times than not, he would have to defend himself on the way back to the guard tower from men who didn't really desire to be better but would "Sure like a guitar that purdy to trade for smokes and what - not." Biff would say "It ain't purdy to be girly, it's purdy because I deserve purdy." So do you . . . and it's also a very sturdy bludgeon.
