AndyK Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QreSqOBDPWI I've often seen Scott play a Deluxe, but here Robbo also appears to be playing one, which I've not seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Took me by surprise, too. A black Custom with black open coil HBs was his most common guitar then I think. Great footage, thanks for sharing here, Andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Paul Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah, it was a black custom with all the gold hardware replaced with chrome, and a white pickguard, and two open coil pups. Would like to know what those pups were. I know he was running it through a superlead 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to know what those pups were. I know he was running it through a superlead 100. Through many of the Norlin years Les Paul Customs were available with chrome hardware as an option. I think they started it with moving the Les Paul production from Kalamazoo to Nashville in 1975 which also brought the advent of the Nashville Tune-O-Matic, hence the name I guess.

pippy Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 He is often associated with the 1960 Black Beauty because of the hundreds of snaps taken (and used subsequently) on the 'Live and Dangerous' tour, but... "...in an interview, Robertson explained that his main guitar remains his original Thin Lizzy Sunburst 1973 Les Paul Deluxe, albeit re-fretted (due to wear) and with 1959-vintage PAF humbucker pickups fitted roughly by his guitar technician..." Anyone who bought 'Jailbreak' when it first appeared will - like me - possibly think of him with this DeLuxe (still with it's mini-hums) rather than the Custom as this was the guitar he was pictured with back then.

Marshall Paul Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah that's right. I remember reading that somewhere now too. Had the mini's in it. Scotty also had a Standard HCB with regular sized pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Paul Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yup. As much as I like Gary, I think the Brian/Scotty line-up was THE Lizzy line-up. Everytime I think of them, I remember the Rainbow Room Concert. The killer opening song Rosalie as the roadies are setting up, fantastic stuff!
