Gibson Artist Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Was wondering what kind of Gibson Roy Clark is using here? Looks slightly modded but a big beautiful hollowbody. Man can he play or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Think it has a Byrdland tailpiece, Charlie Christian pup and P90....a one-off Venetian cutaway Byrdland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingarmadillo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Think it has a Byrdland tailpiece, Charlie Christian pup and P90....a one-off Venetian cutaway Byrdland? This has been asked before on other forums so with a little Google time I found it's probably a Byrdland - from 1960 - 1968 they had that style cutaway rather than the more rounded style.

Rabs Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Charlie Christian ES-175? (that's just a guess though) (ooh, forget that, I didn't notice the P90) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Man can he play or what? Or what! Pour yourself an adult beverage, go to YouTube, search for Roy Clark and just enjoy. He can do it all, fiddle, banjo, and guitar in all styles. Definitely one of the all time greats. And his singing voice isn't bad either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yes, some sort of 60's modified Byrdland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markini Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Old Roy has got to have the best facial expressions when playing guitar, he makes a mistake you see a shrug, he pulls off a fast riff and goes whew! Just a great musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brundaddy Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Another sweet custom oddball, a Gretsch with Gibson Custom 400 (?) neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Roy was always a great player. Love the hairdos on the gals in the video and Porter Wagner's suit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser Bill Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've been into Roy since 1965 when I heard an album of his. A great player for the day. I think he just sits around and drools now...not sure. Haven't heard anything from him since "Yesterday when I was young". That was over thirty years ago.

matiac Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Uncle Teddy guitar with Chuck Christian pickups...I like it. How come the only Country guy that has a sig guitar is Dwight Yoakum with that Casino thing? I bet Roy Clark fans would scarf one of those (Florentine Thinline Byrdland) up quick...but then again, he played a lotta different stuff...he was the sole reason I watched "Hee Haw" back in the day, and when Chet Atkins was a guest, and those 2 got together for one of there 'Call-Response' things they always did, I was in guitar Heaven...

DynoByte Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Another sweet custom oddball, a Gretsch with Gibson Custom 400 (?) neck. Ahh yes, the Black Falcon. Super 400 neck with replaced Sho-Bud steel guitar pickups. The original neck was broken so I guess he had the Gibson logo painted over not to make waves.

Markini Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think Joe Walsh can beat him on crazy faces hands down. Yep you got me on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Or what! Pour yourself an adult beverage, go to YouTube, search for Roy Clark and just enjoy. He can do it all, fiddle, banjo, and guitar in all styles. Definitely one of the all time greats. And his singing voice isn't bad either! I did just that, and my word is that man talented.
