vomer Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Sorry, haven't a clue, but what a great video. Love the Hollies, criminally under-rated band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Can't seem to find any information, but it looks like a black "Texan" in specs (slope shoulderd, texan style inlays in the fingerboard, and headstock, which seems to be pre-1963 in shape), except for the strange double pickguard. Might have been special made/ordered, for Graham Nash. Maybe some of the "Vintage Experts" here, can tell you? But, I haven't found anything, like it, on the Internet...yet, anyway.

EpiphonePlayer Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I wish i could tell you, it might be some kind of custom epi though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I has to be a custom Texan. There weren't any other full-size, slope-shoulder guitars in Epiphone catalog at the time. The other full-size were all square-shoulder, Martin-based designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeper Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Never judge a guitar by its pickguard. Its a Texan of some sort I think. And who the hell are these Judies playing it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan1281734152 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm not sure what that guitar is, but thanks for sharing the video anyway. I love The Hollies. Their stuff always makes me smile. Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie1281734003 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Have only just found this topic so forgive me for being very late. This is Graham Nash`s "Black" Epiphone FT-79 Texan which dates to 62/63 (The 61 model didn`t have the ADJ saddle, or the smaller Epiphone name on the h/stock. And during 63 the H/stock shape changed to the more common hourglass shape). From what information I can gather, this guitar was originally sunburst, and Graham had all the custom work done himself. He used the guitar throughout his time in the Hollies, and into the early days of CSN&Y. I don`t know if he still owns the guitar or not, but it certainly looks striking. Steve.

tweed2 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If memory serves, this video was recorded during the recording session for this song at Abbey Studios. It's been 40 something years since I've seen board faders like that! That may be the set up that Lenny Kravitz bought a few years ago. Beautiful old tube powered equipment. Nothing sounds like it. A lot of the later overdriven guitar stuff that the Beatles did went directly through the board, not an amp, and came close to frying it several times.
