I should get some better pics of it, but...
My '63. I have a '57 Gibson "Stereo-Vib" tube amp as well, which is not currently functional.

Blue guitars are usually feisty and slow-playing.
Well, it's feisty, but only the E string is slow because its actually a D...
You can fix any "slow" guitar by playing bass for a while - when you go back, even the worst action feels light as a feather...
Particularly my flat-wound bass strings, those things make you earn your speed, but I love the way they sound... When I use regular bass strings, I end up dialing out everything they bring to the table anyway...

History?
My father was in a little garage band in the mid-60s ('The Boomers', as pictured in the guitar case). He played a Fender Jazz bass in that band, and is pictured on the right in the photo. He bought the Strat from the guy who played it in the band (who is pictured with the guitar on the left). He kept it since, playing it once in awhile. Its original, but was re-fretted in the late '90s. I used to play it occasionally when I was a kid. He passed away in July '03 and I inherited it, along with the amp. I keep it and display it as one of my many memories of him.
Very nice

Bonamassa RULES!!!!!
Uncle Ted had this to say:
Ted Nugent played an impromptu blues jam at the club on Feb. 25. Here's what he had to say about it, "Last night, my musical jihad grew even more hair on its scrotum, because I got to jam onstage, no band, just a couple of Les Pauls and a kid named Joe Bonamassa, a white kid from New York. It was just us onstage, and this little white prick, and this older white prick, continued to pretend we weren't, in fact, white at all. This kid deserves to be in the same class with Stevie Ray Fucking Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. It was really inspiring. So this kid and I had maybe 40 minutes of exchanges of notes that don't exist, guitar sounds that are brand new, and soul and emotion that can only go back into the glow of the B.B./Albert/Freddy King world."

Joe has like a boatload of guitars.
Cant tell ya what they all are though.
Just love the way he plays.
Mountain Time is an awesome song where he really gets into the sound thing.
At one point your lookin for a violinist.
But it be the Git makin the sound.
Couldn't make that link work though here.
His re-due of Are You Experienced (Hendricks) is better than Jimmy IMO.
The dude is unreal.
Look for the vid Live at the Rockpalast.
It is like Damn!!!
Most all his recordings are Live somewhere, he hates studios.
His first tour was opening for a BB-King tour. Joe was 12.
As ya can tell I be a BIG fan.

Bahh! My pet box-turtle (jsawyer) plays better than Hendrix. Eric & Elliot FTMFW!
I've never understood "hero worship" in any arena... Trying to decide which of many outstanding players is "the best" just doesn't make any sense to me...
Bonamassa is outrageously good - but I will say that I get a little tired of being beaten over the head with that fact each time he picks up a guitar... Could just be what makes it out into the public - everyone wants to see fire on the fretboard...
