Two Great Guitars: Bo Diddley/Chuck Berry is a studio album by Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, which was released in August 1964 by Checker Records, and is now considered to be one of rock music's earliest "super session" albums. Both men were friends and Chess Records labelmates and the album consists of two lengthy and spontaneous instrumental jams plus a couple of recently recorded instrumentals by the two guitarslingers (additional instrumental recordings - three by Diddley, one by Berry - were added for the CD version). The album cover features a Gibson ES-350T owned by Berry and a guitar that was created by Diddley.
