Hello Wikepedians I restored Chaquico's "notable" guitars that were removed for reasons of not being "custom." I did this after reviewing other guitarist's pages and noticing that they also, listed non-custom guitars, as in "stock" guitars. Guitarists have favorite guitars that they use often in performances and are not always "custom" but are "notable" because of a particular sound or nuance the artist desires in performance or recording. Eric Clapton, and Billy Gibbons among others. list non-custom, favorite guitars of note in their info boxes. Cheryl Fullerton ( talk) 22:39, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Cheryl Fullerton
Hello again, I've researched this subject in depth and providing more you with more information on the guitars that I feel should be listed in the "notable instruments" area in the info box and the reasons they should be included.
1957 Les Paul Goldtop -On the first two multiplatinum Jefferson Starship albums, Dragonfly and Red Octopus (1975) with Red Octopus being “Certified double platinum by RIAA in 1995, it is the best-selling album by any incarnation of Jefferson Airplane and its spin-off groups,” [2], Spitfire and Earth, and the hundreds of live concerts during the period between 1974 – 1978, Chaquico played both his 1957 Goldtop and his 1959 Sunburst. In particular, the ’57 Goldtop appeared on hit songs like, “Miracles,” (No. 3 for three weeks on Billboard Hot 100 chart), “Ride the Tiger,” “Fast Buck Freddie,” and “Play on Love.” He also performed Live with this guitar in countless concerts which show up in photos and videos and live concert audio from that period. It was stolen at the Lorelei riot, along with his ’59 Sunburst [PHOTOS CAN BE SUPPLIED; ONE IS CURRENTLY ON CHAQUICO’S WIKIPEDIA PAGE].
BC Rich Mockingbird – In 1978, Chaquico’s rare instruments, including the ’59 Sunburst and ’57 Goldtop were destroyed and/or stolen during the Lorelei, Germany riot, when Grace Slick wouldn’t perform and the audience rebelled [3] It was then that Chaquico decided to no longer take such valuable instruments on the road and began working with BC Rich to create a guitar that was solid, like a Les Paul, and had a rich tone, and this was the Mockingbird model. He made this guitar as he played it Live during all of the tours and videos during the early MTV era which featured songs such as, “Winds of Change,” “Stranger,” and “Black Widow.” Chaquico plays it throughout the Jefferson Starship Definitive Concert video, many Live and TV performance videos of the band performing their hit, “Jane,” as well as on the hit TV show, “Fridays,” which is available on YouTube. Chaquico was also photographed with his purple Mockingbird on the January 1982 cover of Guitar Player Magazine [PHOTOS AND VIDEOS CAN BE SUPPLIED]. He was also recently interviewed by Matt Touchard for the new book, B.C. Rich Legacy, as Chaquico made a huge impact on the sales of BC Rich Mockingbirds in the 1980s.
Carvin Doubleneck – Chaquico was also very well-known for playing the Carvin Doubleneck during this same period, playing it at hundreds of Live Jefferson Starship concerts during the early ‘80s and on Live TV shows such as “Fridays.” His fans closely associate the Carvin double-neck with Chaquico because he was featured playing them not only in concert and on TV and in videos, but also in advertisements throughout the ‘80s place by Carvin Guitars in magazines.
Carvin V220 – Chaquico grew a very strong relationship with the owners of the new guitar company, Carvin Guitars, in the mid-80s. They came up with the V220 which Chaquico played on MTV videos such as “Layin’ It on the Line,” and TV specials such as 1984’s “Super Night of Rock ‘n Roll,” MTVs very first Spring Break special in 1986 [4] , and he was featured, along with his V220 in many Carvin ads for their guitars and amps. These advertisements were placed in all of the popular guitar magazines such as Guitar Player and Guitar World. Owner, Mark Kiesel said, “These ads with Craig really helped our V220T guitar and X100B amp stacks become our best-selling products throughout the ‘80s.” [Guitar Player: The Inside Story of the First Two Decades of the Most Successful Guitar Magazine Ever. Backbeat Books edited by Jim and Dara Crockett, 2015, p. 247] [1]
I think you will agree, after reviewing the information I have provided, that these guitars should be included in "notable" instruments on Chaquico's page in the info box. I look forward to your response. Cheryl Fullerton ( talk) 16:16, 12 August 2017 (UTC)Cheryl Fullerton
I restored the deleted notable guitars in the info box for the reasons given above. Cheryl Fullerton ( talk) 17:38, 16 August 2017 (UTC)Cheryl Fullerton
The Notable Instruments were removed without discussion. I think I've given the evidence above that substantiates the inclusion of Chaquico's guitars as "notable". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheryl Fullerton ( talk • contribs) 19:15, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

I've gone through and removed most of the fan-pov stuff, but the article relies heavily on dubious sources, including blogs, interviews and other self-sources, and affiliated sources. I have slowly started through from the top, will continue. —valereee ( talk) 12:58, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
Cheryl Fullerton, I'm going to need to see something in a reliable source that calls him something like that or it's unduly focussed on something that isn't really important, and especially not for the lead. Why are we even saying this? Let's discuss. Per policy at WP:ONUS, the editor who wants to include content needs to prove why we need this content. Frankly if it were me, I'd not want this said about me because it seems kind of pathetic and defensive. I feel like it almost sounds like it should be followed up with "...and was not just some replacement guy!" —valereee ( talk) 15:07, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Here are some sources: 1.Craig Chaquico, a founding member of Jefferson Starship and the only musician to perform on all 10 of their albums, on Aug. 11 secured from U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James in San Francisco a decision greenlighting a cause of action of what his lawyers said was the core claim over use of the legendary band name. https://www.law.com/therecorder/almID/1202795545627/Jefferson-Starship-Founders-Breach-Suit-Cleared-for-Takeoff/?mcode=1202617072607&curindex=3&slreturn=20210413134047
2.A founding member of Jefferson Starship filed a lawsuit Thursday to stop some of his former bandmates from using the band's name for upcoming performances and merchandise. Guitarist Craig Chaquico is asking a judge to prevent a new iteration of Jefferson Starship from using the name in the federal lawsuit filed in San Francisco. He claims the group has been using the Jefferson Starship name without permission, and has used his image to promote shows through early 2018. https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7776286/jefferson-starship-co-founder-sues-bandmates-name 3. “Thompson had been pushing Paul and Grace for some time to start a new band…the seventh member of the new team, Craig Chaquico…” Jeff Tamarkin, Got A Revolution: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane p. 266
If that is agreeable, I'll edit or if you have a better suggestion, please let me know. Thanks! Cheryl Fullerton ( talk) 18:41, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
Quote from Chaquico in 2016, before filing his lawsuit: Plus, Steelwind got its own recording deal on a Jefferson Airplane label, and the band was opening for Jefferson Starship – which was basically Jefferson Airplane minus the guitar player and bass player – Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, who had left to form Hot Tuna.
