Red 333 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Macca and his band are real Gibsonites. On that night, by my count, Paul played the J-15 12 String, his Epiphone Texan, his Epiphone Casino, and two different Les Pauls. Rusty Anderson played two (I think) different ES-335's, a Trini Lopez maybe, a Firebird (but a copy, I think), and a Les Paul. He may also have played an SG. I can't remember. Brian Ray played an SG Bass, an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass, a J-160E, and a Les Paul Goldtop. Many Gibsons and Epiphones were played in this GREAT show! Nice photo, jedward!

E-minor7 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 A lot of people know he had the Everly Bros model the 70's. Less are aware he actually played a J-160e in the period just before that - the square version. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen his E.Bros guitar edit : here's some footage of the J160E it appears towards around the 6 or 7th minute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-oltmsJ1uU JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 EM7, do you have a picture of PM and that square J 160e ? Nope - but you provide the footage. I really like that sparetime feel on the countryside. The square 160 I tried a few years back was, , , , eeeehh full of Linda's socks (to recycle an ol' phrase) Guess it records better than it plays acoustically. Then again in a countryside mood any 6 strings sound nice, don't they. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Today he was at Graceland: And obviously got the well-known migraine from the notorious J-200 populux pickguard motif. Only kiddin' – Paul gets around, , , is it his second time there. First being in 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 And here is a photo I took at The Frank Erwin Center in Austin on 5/22 with his Texan, arguably the most famous Gibson acoustic in the world. Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I believe that if you made an investigation out among the broader public and asked which instrument comes to their mind when they hear the words Acoustic Guitar, most would stand fairly disorientated. Then pressed a bit, a percentage would say, "the torn one played by Willie Nelson". Very few would remember the one with flowers on the guard and close to zero would be aware of Paul's Texan. But I agree – it might be one of the most significant acoustics in the whole wide round world. If not by name, then by sound, , , tuned 1 step down.
