Who doesn't love the James Bond theme music? It's an intoxicating mix of danger and sex that has remained popular throughout generations of movie goers. Truely a timeless piece of music.
So you can imagine my excitement when I received an email from Vic Flick, the man behind the unforgettable Bond twang.
Vic was kind enough to let me know that the guitar he used, a Clifford Essex Paragon De Luxe, for the early James Bond films and the actual recordings of the James Bond Theme is now on display in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
You can find out more about planning a trip to see it at
