jefleppard Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 strictly gibson, i'd say the borrowed j-200 jimmy page used to record 'babe, i'm gonna leave you'. non-gibby though, it would have to be the harmony sovereign that gave the world 'stairway to heaven'. sidenote: he played the guitar solo on a tele.

maninblack Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 No doubt about it for me. 1)Dylan's J-50 2)Neil Young/Hank Williams D-28 3)Willie's "Trigger" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambler Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 thanks for the intro.. have never heard of [Paul Germia] and now wish to hear some more! Glad to pass it on, JT. Paul's great. Anyone into 12 string. Or slide. Or fingerstyle owes it to themselves to give a listen! jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 jkinnama, thanks for mentioning Paul Geremia. I think that he's the finest 12 string ragtime/blues player alive. Actually, finest acoustic blues player alive, 6 or 12 string. My own personal music career highlight occured some years ago when I opened for Paul. Best was swapping guitars afterwords. That Tonk Bros. 12-string was scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannusguy Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 any of pete townshend's gibby's that survived. really don't mean to bring up that thread again, but it's all i got right now. i mean really, how many could there be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just wanted to say thanks for the introduction JK. I have never heard of this guy and now wish to hear some more! Appreciated John Ditto JT. Thanks JK. Just had a quick look at his website and very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Ditto JT. Just had a quick look at his website and very impressed. Check him out while you can get it guys--and gals. "[His] Tonk Bros. 12-string was scary" His recent Fraulini (Todd Cambio) is a non-Gibson that could get me going. A friend let me borrow his for a short spell. Unique sound. Btw, also got to pick on Frank Fotusky's Square Deal (Jack Needham) OM, without a doubt the best midrange Ive heard in an OM, and his Bozeman 35. Check the links. JK Statesboro Blues on Paul's Fraulini 12-string Frank Fotusky plays 39 9th St on his Neddham OM Frank pays Arrangement for Me Blues on his Bozeman J35 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YTqkLeBNm4 Frank's Fotusky's page: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=1534596 Todd Cambio/Fraulini: http://www.fraulini.com/index.html Jack Needham/Square deal: http://web.mac.com/jackneedham/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html Paul G: http://www.paulgeremia.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Slightly off centre maybe but try these. Phil Manzanera was my other 70s guitar hero (as well as Pete Townshend) - big Roxy Music fan. And Dave Grohl is my latest guitar hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 First post after the OP, I cracked that one..... It met with such stone-faced indifference I edited it out after about ten posters ignored it and put in a serious answer. I thought it was amusing first time around, and I still think it's amusing. Lets see what the rest of 'em have to say..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thermionik Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Charlie Christian's ES-150 And when I was a kid I lived in Spain and, aged ten (1962/3), got my first serious guitar, hand crafted in the area by a local luthier who claimed to know Segovia, and claimed to have based it on the Hauser AS was then using. So, although it is not a Gibson, and although I would not want to touch it, let alone play it, I WOULD like to hear one more piece played live and intimate on Segovia's Hauser (now in the Met, New York). Segovia practised (I quote) 'five hours daily in 1.25 hour increments, emphasizing the need to practice scales to maintain sound technique'. Never knew what that last part meant, never able to spend that ammount of time, and thus - never that good. Sigh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Like John's J-160EI saw John's 1964 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame about two months ago... I held my hand on the glass for at least ten minutes. I remember every detail about that guitar... his pickup was apparently cut in half when he moved it to the bridge... the sketches on the body were carved and then filled in with ink, as far as I can tell... the pickguard is peeling... He never did clip the strings at the headstock, they were all neatly wound and tucked underneath. The Japanese coin wasn't on the strap, like you see in a lot of photos.

TWilson Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'm with you on this one TW (which is quite alarming!) Har de har har' date=' matey!! Be afraid, be very afraid. Actually, I have had this strange urge, lately, to add up huge columns of numbers, or perhaps to become an embezzler of sorts. Odd, what? ( I also agree with you on the Eagles on another thread so that's a double whammy on you brother!! Cheers!)[/color'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
