Braxton Schuffert, the other guitarist with Hank Williams in the original lineup of the Driftin’ Cowboys in the late 1930s, has died at the age of 97. Schuffert was a musical mentor to Williams, and continued to perform until shortly before his death. His unique Gibson HG-24 guitar (with an internal rim and four f-holes in addition to a round soundhole) is among the instruments on display at the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, Alabama.
