This would have to be one of the best-if not,the best thread i've seen.

dennq · 02-24-2012, 10:52 PM

Seen Frampton live tonight and he was playing this guitar and he even commented that it was indeed his guitar returned to him...

Greg's Guitars · 02-25-2012, 11:05 AM

Frampton and guitar In Canada Last night.......

Ed A · 02-25-2012, 05:25 PM

Does anyone know if he is still playing it on the tour, or was it just for the brief appearance at the Beacon and now its back in a vault?

***delawaregold*** · 02-25-2012, 05:32 PM

He has played it at every show since The Beacon on the 18th.
I believe he has said he will play it for at least the rest of the FCA35 Tour.

Very cool... I was at the Beacon and it was a great moment!... do we know if he is using it on more than just 'Do You Feel'..... Wish he had used it on Four Day Creep at the Beacon, that would have REALLY blown me away!

I saw him on Wednesday at the Akron Civic Theater. F***in' amazing show! He opened with that guitar and played it for almost the whole night, he played 3 or 4 different acoustics, two ES-335's, an orange strat, a frampton sig model, and I think that's it. But he played it for most of the night. It was awesome to see it not but 5 feet from my face after seeing it on here over the past few months.

Lowdown · 02-25-2012, 06:26 PM

Please! Surely somebody took a decent photo?!

***delawaregold*** · 02-25-2012, 06:57 PM

Now THAT is a Vintage Les Paul Fan!

The Akron Civic is a great place to see a concert.

I saw him there a few times before FCA came out. Then he moved to larger venues.

From Facebook......

March 17th Marin Center I will be bringing my long lost Les Paul back to the scene of the crime! Going to be emotional playing all of "....... Comes Alive!" where some of it was actually recorded. AND for the first time since!!!!!!

Tickets still available. This is the only time I will be playing the entire album where it was born!

dlmorley · 03-12-2012, 09:07 AM

Such a cool thing for Peter...

icsm · 03-13-2012, 11:19 PM

"Yeah.... It's my guitar..."

Great story, very emotional and how very exciting!
I'm sure a man like Peter Frampton will be able to identify his no.1 guitar the moment he holds it.

From what I've been reading, it kind of sounds like he may be using it more? A little disappointing to me really. I really wish he would have used it more at the Beacon Theatre than just for "DYFLWD", especially since they're making a DVD. Didn't diminish anything at all about the show though for my wife and I. It was still AWESOME nonetheless and we were lucky to be there. Maybe the DVD will have clips from other show during the tour?

Lowdown · 03-17-2012, 06:13 AM

You're truly lucky to have been at the very show where he re-introduced his newfound guitar,MB.

Midnight Blues · 03-17-2012, 07:03 AM

Yes we were Ld. We had GREAT seats too; four rows from stage left, just slightly left of where Frampton spent a lot of the night. Got some pics/video of course, but unfortunately, I'm sure it has at leas a little something to do with the camera (my wife has a Canon PowerShot which is small with not much of a flash), but I'm a horrible photographer and only a handful came out decently.

Here's a good example: When his Roadie brought out the '54, I was video taping (or at least I thought I was). Then, Frampton comes out and he starts telling it's story. All of a sudden, the camera shuts down!!!! I said to myself OMG!!!! (along with a few expletives, of the "F Bomb" variety!!!!). I was never even recording!!!! Fortunately, my wife was recording with her iPhone. Phew!!!!

Lowdown · 03-17-2012, 07:25 AM

sounds exactly like something I'd do.
Thank god for my wife,otherwise we'd have no shots of the kids when they were born

aweebird · 03-21-2012, 01:32 PM

Quite the story!

Lowdown · 03-22-2012, 01:21 AM

Live from The Record Plant 1975.

Just got sent this from Wolfgang's Vault. You may have to open an account to access it,but it will be well worth your while…

Escher · 03-29-2012, 08:58 PM

I just read through the whole story of this guitar...

I had never been a Frampton fan, not by choice, but just because I was born after his time (I started listening to rock in the 80's, totally missing his heyday).

This and that AMAZING reunion video from the concert have officially made me a fan. I'll admit - I teared up a bit.

Went through all 40 pages today! Reads like a good book.

Ben, I hope you come back and tell us what happened to the white one! A few pages back your promised pictures were coming, and I'd love to see how that guitar made out. Did you tell Peter that you knew of its whereabouts?
