IanHenry Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 There's been a few bits of film uploaded on YouTube recently of Robert Plant performing live. I find it rather funny when he says "you can never go back" and then fills half his live set with Zeppelin numbers, but I suppose that's his choice. Can anyone identify the semi acoustic Gibson that one of his guitar players, Liam "Skin" Tyson is playing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPLanTT-2oc Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The semi is a Les Paul Signature from the 70's. Here's a link to one on Reverb. https://reverb.com/p/gibson-les-paul-signature-sunburst-1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 That's one of my bucket list ones....here's the pic - A chopped 335 body with (I think) single coils, low impedance. One forum member has a mouth-watering collection of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Yeah, I find that perplexing as well. He says he doen't want to be stuck in the past playing songs from "that band from the '70's" and then he plays them with his new band. Most of the versions he does now I don't care for either. Whatever. I think he really does not like Page very much but that's just a feeling I have seeing as how he doesn't call me to chat much anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quapman Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It's all he's got! His solo stuff was ok but not amazing. Zep will live forever, he won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 His solo stuff was ok but not amazing. Well, I guess that's it. He doesn't want to sing with Page, Jones and Jason B. anymore but if he doesn't play Zeppelin tunes people won't go to his shows. He must be tormented.

cody78 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thanks Cody, I've never seen one of those before. Ian No problem Ian. Yep, they are pretty rare. The first time I saw one was in the original 90's version of the Tony Bacon and Paul Day Les Paul Guitar Book. Another Les Paul model you rarely hear much of is the acoustic Les Paul Jumbo which might be of interest to you. Here's an old Reverb listing for one of them. https://reverb.com/item/3984126-gibson-les-paul-jumbo-flattop-1969-sunburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One forum member has a mouth-watering collection of these. Is that the member called Grog? I've seen his pictures over on the low impedance thread in the Vintage Corner. He has an amazing collection including some beautiful Les Paul Personal, Professional and Recording models if I recall correctly. Probably the best collection of these I've ever seen.

Grog Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 These actually have Low Impedance Super Humbuckers. I believe they were designed by Bill Lawrence. The Sunburst models are extremely rare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
