As we celebrate ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard’s birthday today, Billy Gibbons shares the story of the furry guitars they played in the “Legs” video!

“The furry guitar was definitely an inspiration from Bo Diddley. He had chopped and channeled his own versions of the electric Spanish six-string for years and years, and one made an appearance covered in kind of like a shag carpet. Having made friends with Mr. Bo Diddley, ‘Well,’ he said, ‘go get yourself a sheepskin.’ He said, ‘It’ll probably work for ya.’”
