B3 GUYS received a visit from a Steve Winwood, who then proceeded to show me how it's done on my personal B-3. Some days in the office are just better than others.

B3 GUYS received a call from Lynyrd Skynyrd's management team to restore three pieces of rock 'n' roll history. This white B-3 and two matching Leslie 122s belonged to their late keyboardist Billy Powell (1952 - 2009), which he played on their classic recordings and tours (see album cover One More From The Road). Thanks for decades of great music Billy! ... R.I.P.

Jack White commissioned B3 GUYS to build two identical custom tour rigs: Hammond A-100 & Leslie 3300
Here's a rig you don't see every day - a custom Hammond A-100 and Leslie 3300 we did for The White Stripes 2007 World Tour - their last tour together. B3 GUYS built two identical tour rigs as pictured - one for USA, one for UK/Europe. Following the tour, Jack's crew informed me one rig was loaned to Bob Dylan for a few of his tour dates. This one currently resides at Jack White's Third Man Studios here in Nashville, Tennessee.
