The
custom "Blue Baby" guitar was designed
and handcrafted by master luthier, Scott Tilley
at the world renowned Regenberg Music, circa
1992. This guitar was the collaboration between
Spencer Frothingham's crazy ideals of the dream
guitar and Scott Tilley's technical expertise to
make it happen. When designing the guitar,
Spencer had 3 basic requirements that had to be
fulfilled. One, it had to sound good. Two, it had
to look good. Three, it had to taste good. I've
never really quite understood that third
requirement, but who am I to question the ways of
"the Froth"? This guitar was his main
guitar for most of the nineties. In fact, it was
his only guitar since he had to pawn all of his
other ones for food. This was his only guitar
that pawn shops were really NOT interested in. It
seems that the occasional nibble REALLY decreases
the resell value of a guitar. The Blue Baby was
never used for a professional session, However,
if Spencer ever had any money to actually do a
professional session he would have probably
rented a Les Paul anyways. The "Blue
Baby" has been the main touring guitar for
Spencer Frothingham since the early 90's, and
unless the Poor Rich Kids start making some
money, don't expect that to change anytime soon.
