J200_2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Well, what can I say, I listen to a song like this and KNOW this guy has never been to Honduras, or lemme say, the REAL Honduras. Imagine Hank Williams (or Skip James for that matter) writing a song in Kauaʻi about being lonesome.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 That guitar has come up here a before and I do not recall anybody really being able to figure out what model it was. I swear I read somewhere though that Zevon's kid said that guitar was actually not his father's - that it was borrowed from humorist Dave Barry who played with the Rock Bottom Remainders starting in 1992. But I could be wrong about that - brain farts seem to be coming more and more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogeye Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 The Gibson price list has the J-200 Jr. 12 string listed in 1992.The retail was $1,799.00. The production numbers for 1992 show that they shipped : 17 in Vintage Sunburst 37 in Antique Natural 1 in Antique Ebony They did make a bunch of J-200 12 strings but this isn't one of them. There is no binding on the neck and headstock. It's not a J-100 as it has crown inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I never quite "got" Warren Zevon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy2 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I never quite "got" Warren Zevon. I was a fan. Did a lot of shows with him through the years. "Carmelita" is still in my limited repertoire. He was a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struma6 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Loved Warren Zevon! Fantastic writer of uncommon songs. I wouldn't doubt he had been to Honduras...at least Roland may have been!! btw...that 12 string sounds terrible, to my ears. Not his playing, the guitar itself.
