Buck Dharma
Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser is Blue Öyster Cult's lead guitarist and the writer and singer of '(Don't Fear) The Reaper.' Known for a clean, melodic, harmonically rich style at odds with the band's heavier reputation, his signature instrument is a Gibson SG, though the famous Reaper riff was tracked on a borrowed Gibson ES-175 hollowbody through a clean Music Man combo for its bright, jangling shimmer.
