According to what I saw at the Play It Loud exhibition at the Met he used it for the Yardbirds and for Zepplin on Kashmir, When the Levee Breaks, In My Time of Dying, and Black Mountain Side. Tuning was DADGAD.

I have always tuned my Strats w/ locking tuners down, but everything else I tune up. Funny though, the Strats are the most stable guitars I have so I guess it works.

Your favorite guitar (And the one that got away)
flyingarmadillo replied to TheLeadFlatpick's topic in The Gibson Lounge
Acoustic? My Yairi WY-1: Electric would be the 12 String Strat: -
SPDT on/off/on switch needed - where can I get one?
flyingarmadillo replied to Notes_Norton's topic in The Gibson Lounge
If you can't find one you can use one side of a DPDT. -
Gilmours guitars being sold as we speak
flyingarmadillo replied to Rabs's topic in The Gibson Lounge
That means Gilmore gets about $15 million of it. The buyers premium is usually about 20% plus there are other fees and taxes. I just missed going to see the showing when we were in New York over Memorial Day weekend. I think it opened the day we left. -
I hadn't seen anyone comment on this yet but we were in New York this weekend (my wife was singing in a choir at Carnegie Hall) , but for any of you who are planning on being in NYC anytime between now and October, this is definitely worth the price of admission: https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2019/play-it-loud Jimmy Page contributed a bunch of stuff to it, but there are lots of interesting iconic instruments and a few short interivews.

Me too! And I still play it occasionally.

I live in Houston now, but I've lived Texas and New Mexico for 40 years including DFW and west Texas and it's never been a real problem. In Houston the A/C keeps the humidity right around 45%. Same for DFW only more like 40%. Midland was a little drier (around 25%) but there never was that big a problem. If the wood was properly seasoned before they built it, and you're not leaving it in the sun I wouldn't worry to much. If you're really concerned a and live in west Texas a small, cool humidifier will be fine, anyplace else, don't worry about it.

Closest I come to an overdrive is a TS-9. But a JangleBox makes it sound really good. I have 2 Casinos - a Standard with a Bigsby and an Elitist. Both play through an AC15H1TV.

We had a break in the rain here from 6-7 where we went through 2 1/2 bowls of goodies. The third bowl got flooded out about half way through it.

Nice find - the first 12 string I owned was a 67 Stella H912. Played it until it (literally) fell apart.

What the latest song you've been playing on your guitar?

The forth one is kinda hiding in the herd.

Wild Horses - acoustic. Alternating between the 12 string and Nashville tuning on a 6. Can't really decide what I like better.
