daveg Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 This is the One-Off Tony Motola ES355 with Les Paul Low Impedance Pickups etc. He used it on the "All The Way" album. I wonder where it is now? DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I guess the guitar I most wonder about is Dave Mason's Firebird V. It was THE guitar that made me have to have a reverse Firebird. I've done a few google searches and come up with no answers. I had a short conversation with Dave about 6-8 years ago and should have asked him. Maybe there is some sort of blog on his website, I think I'll go check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 WOW Dave! Looks like a Semi Acoustic version of the Crest with the rosewood body! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 The one I wonder about most often is the Gibson L5CT (with humbuckers) that Stephen Stills and David Crosby used back in the late '60's. I suppose Crosby may still have it (or Stills, or Young, or...?). Anyway, it was like mine, and you don't see many of them around with hb's. ===== I also wonder about this Gobel with a Charlie Christian pickup, which was used by the Chicago-based singer Frank D'Rone, who passed away about a year ago.

btoth76 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 ... ... Hello Dave! This is simply beautiful! Tony Mottola likes extraordinary instruments for sure. 23 frets, Low-Z... His Super 400 is beautiful too: Best wishes... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bence Great find Bence. I only ever associated him with the L5 with the CC PU until "All The Way". He sent me another (autographed) pic of him with the es355 and a short note about it. I don't think that it suited his style at all but that could have been because it was new to him at that time. But it adds to the portfolio of Low Impedance equipped instruments from that era.
