bobby b Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 check it out : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L62RtZe80Cw&feature=relmfu JC Sure is an old video..... He sure has a interesting 'thumb strum' technique. Think I can make out the Gibson logo and crown/thistle on the head stock. Not a burst that I see alot of on 'birds but I have seen a few with a similar burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That is an interesting burst. At least on this video it tends to look kind of chocolatey in some of the lighting and a bit reddish at other times............And what a voice!..Thanks for the video. Don't recall seeing it before.

E-minor7 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This appears to be a genuine 1960-67 Hummingbird. It's hard to see the logo and tuners, but the p-guard, fretboard and burst are as they should be. ( There are 2 other songs from this show - maybe more ). Most splashy percussion I ever heard, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Isaac Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Somewhere in a box I have this on a video waiting to copy to DVD, along with many others, and I am sure the quality is much better than this. Roy had many Gibson's and a few Epi's such as an FT-112. I recall seeing this live when it came out but way back then identifying his guitars and watching his technique were not top of the list. Roy was a more accomplished guitarist than many gave him credit. I have been a huge Big O fan since the early '60's and now wish I had paid more attention to the guitars he used. I think a lot of them were destroyed when his home in Hendersonville burnt down. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
