MaxHart85231281734137 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Humble Pie so that guitar in the video is a modded out les paul Jr.! GIBSON LES PAUL JUNIOR A slab bodied mahogany guitar - a simple guitar with a great hard sound, a very ‘rock and roll’ guitar, apparently given to Steve by a fan. Another small guitar, easy to play and control, and is also very light. Again, like the telecaster, this was modified in a whimsical way; the original scratch plate was removed and replaced by the white scratch plate of his Dwight, causing confusion in the identification of these guitars. (N.B. The Junior has the jack plug on the side of the guitar!) EPIPHONE DWIGHT To all intents and purposes an identical guitar to the junior above, this was an Epiphone Coronet made under licence to the Dwight Music shop in New York. It had exactly the same hardware and electrics as the Gibson Junior, but was of thinner mahogany and this therefore affected the sound giving it a slightly more cutting sound. This is the sound of Steve’s earlier Humble Pie days, a brash, braying sound. Listen to the opening of ‘I Don’t Need No Doctor’ to see what I mean! Note that the jack plug socket, is on the front of the guitar. Also victim to a rather strange modification, the apparently home-made black scratch plate which extended along to the controls and jack socket. Please lets get rid of the misidentification that is involved with this guitar now… IT IS NOT AN EPIPHONE CRESTWOOD!! (Arguably, this Dwight is the most famous Humble Pie guitar icon, and it was stolen in the UK, as mentioned in the introduction, This is such a distinctive guitar,where is it now?) found it all here http://www.humble-pie.net/rockon/features/html/steves_guitars.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would find them on Sears and Magnatone amps, they're commonly known as "Cheap Amp Barrel Knobs" or something. They were also seen on some Silvertone guitars, and though they're not accurate, there are similar looking knobs on the Danelectro reissue, well at ~15 feet distance. The tremolo bar used on several Coronet is the same "Vibrola" used on SG juniors, so it might fit yours. Any pics of yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggs Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hey cosmitron, Missed this thread earlier. Love your geet & really enjoying your playing. Encore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Super cool and tasty looking guitar! Love the vids too, thanks! I will have to keep my eyes open for one of those! I just scored my own 60's treasure this week... an Ibanez Goldentone modeled after a Burns Bison (and Fender if you check out the headstock). Very fun guitars, especially when they are in playable condition. I don't care about collector value.... (although my wife and kids might someday). I like guitars I can play and enjoy rather than have sit in a case collecting dust. There is something very sexy about these 60's guitars..... maybe it is because I am a product of the 60's myself! Nice Score!!!! (Here is my "New" Old guitar.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
