    It’s Duane Allman’s Gibson SG, the slide guitar he used to create transformative sounds for the Allman Brothers Band just before he died.

    It was purchased at auction by George Fontaine Sr. for $591,000 in 2019, at the time among the steepest prices ever paid for a guitar. Fontaine saw Allman twice in concert in 1971.

    Allman used the Gibson SG for songs on “At Fillmore East,” which Rolling Stone has called one of the greatest live albums of all time.

    After his death, he allegedly was to be buried with the guitar. Instead, his brother Gregg gave it to Duane’s protégé, Gerry Groom. It was eventually purchased by Graham Nash, of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and then fetched nearly five times the opening bid of $125,000 at auction in 2019.

    Later that year, a 1957 Gibson Les Paul Goldtop that Allman used to play on Derek and the Dominoes' song “Layla” sold for $1 million.

    I was a mechanic/service manager for a large Honda,Yamaha dealership from 1979-1992, this struggle was real.

    Man, I really don't get this with the 10mm. If anything, I have extra 10mm stuff. I only have two 10mm sockets in my set, but multiple types of 10mm wrenches, like flat, angled, and ratcheting. Definitely have to say my most commonly used. That and the 12mm.

    Especially if you're sharing with another mechanic. My bag really needs my attention. When i raced, everything was neatly arranged in my toolbox, but now, 20 years later, I have 1/4" and 1/2" drives, standard length and deep sockets, 8mm through 20mm and above for special applications, and everything thrown into one craftsman bag.

    So yeah, the struggle is real indeed lol. By the way, very cool job you had!!! You and I could have made a pretty good team, so long as you didn't mind wrenching on Suzuki's

    10mm.

    Working on 2 Toyota Camrys for years, 10mm bolts seem to be what holds them together. ;)
