His body was taken back to the US, where he was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial

     Park Cemetery, Glendale, California.

     Throughout his career he played a wide range of guitars, from Gibson archtops, to

     Fenders, both Telecaster (1950s) and Stratocaster (1960s), and from the 70s an
     array  of  Gibson  solids,  including  SGs,  ES335,  ES347  and  Explorer,  but  he  still
     retained his signature sound and style. Indeed, his music lives on into the 21st
     century, with his songs being sampled by such as Ice-Cube, Jay Z, and Mary J. Blige.
