Guitars used by Bobby Womack on The Poet
In this YouTube video of Bobby Womack live at the Roxy Theatre, https://youtu.be/c2URbfCWxfA?si=E-bsWZFlZXW_2_c9, Sly Stone can be seen with the Zemaitis MFG24 up until 3:18, after which the guitar can be seen leaning on an amplifier. You can tell it belongs to Bobby Womack because it is a left-handed model. It appears on the album covers of both The Poet(1981) and The Poet II(1984). There is a copy of The Poet album signed by Tony Zemaitis here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F374436642343&psig=AOvVaw3Jv8-f_YTDSu9y0YVFqDh3&ust=1733597875409000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBcQjhxqFwoTCLCyrb7pk4oDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAQ.
Bobby's Zemaitis MFG24 was likely used primarily for recording(specifically in The Poet and The Poet II) because it's difficult to find any live performances with Bobby Womack actually using the Zemaitis. It may have been a back up guitar live, hence Sly Stone getting to use it. A unique feature of Bobby's Zemaitis MFG24 is the diamond-circle-diamond pattern on the fret markers. It had to have been made before 1981, because that's when Bobby Womack released the first Poet album.
