My uncle was telling me the other day about a guitar he has that was apparently built by Buddy Holly's brother, Travis Holley. The story goes that when they first started the crickets, of which Travis was a founding member, and Travis got kicked out of the band, he started drinking a lot and decided to build guitars to keep himself busy. I don't know how much of this story was true. I haven't read anything about Travis being in The Crickets, this is what was told to my uncle about the guitar. Maybe it was before they were popular? Maybe next time I'm over there I'll try it out, and get a picture.
EDIT: I don't know about him getting booted from the band or drinking a lot, but I found this: http://www.yourbuddyjohn.com/albums/lubbock7.htm
