    Skinner still JB's #1 and the best LP he's ever played

    It must have overtaken Snakebite which the one he told me was his favorite…but that was about 4-5 yrs ago.

    1953 Chambered Gibson Les Paul

    I played a ‘53 routed (not this extensive) and it was fantastic sounding. I wouldn’t do it. Not recommending doing it but it really sounded great. Not like a normal ‘54

    Remastered 1973 Led Zeppelin MSG

    No first hand experience with Page’s guitars. I do have a decent amount experience with pickups and specifically Vintage Gibson pickups. I have owned and currently still own vintage guitars with long magnet PAFs, short Magnet PAFs/early Pat#, orange wire Pat #, and TTops. I currently have...

    Remastered 1973 Led Zeppelin MSG

    Current Gibson pickups are not close to the PAF on the neck of his #1 or the TTops in the double neck or bridge position. The wire is different from the TTops all of which used A5 magnets to the current A3. Really very little in common with current Gibson pickups…and that is ignoring the...

    Remastered 1973 Led Zeppelin MSG

    When did he put in the coil tap switch? Reversed polarity, split coils…add a Wah ..there are a lot of tones on offer

    Was Greeny really broken into 25 pieces?

    Greeny, Allman’s gold top and cherry burst, the Rossington Burst, the Kossoff burst and Bloomfield’s…all guitars with great tone and all had headstock repairs. As long as it is done correctly I have never seen it negatively affect the guitar sound. Not mad about some turning their nose up at...

    Was Greeny really broken into 25 pieces?

    It can be a great copy but the best copy still isn’t an original. Up to the buyer what that is worth

    Was Greeny really broken into 25 pieces?

    It is a guitar that is also a historical artifact. So you are buying two things with the imperfections as part of its historical character. As an aside, the best sounding LPs I have ever played all had headstock repairs.

    If you could own any burst…

    Back to the original question…I don’t think you can know until you put your hands on the guitar. Even then you can end up biased …I have flirted with buying a custom. Played one that was really really nice but then brought in one of mine and A/Bed it and just wasn’t different/special enough...

    What is the resistance on these?

    Remastered 1973 Led Zeppelin MSG

    The MSG version of Dazed and confused is by far my favorite. Transitions are seamless. He really uses a lot of the voices possible from a Burst and a Marshall. I love his use of the wah. The bow section sounds very orchestral where in some recordings it sounds like a gimmick.

    Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

    Amps and player to some degree but you aren’t going to get a strat tone out of a Les Paul and modern high output ceramic magnet pickups don’t sound like vintage Gibson pickups (unless you have balls out saturation and then everything pretty much sounds the same) from changing amps. Sometimes you...

    Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

    Well, liking a tone isn’t exactly copying the player completely. Maybe it is a starting point for some. While there are a few here that are trying to just emulate a specific player, I think most just like a sound and then use that to “paint with”. I am not going to post my current collection...

    Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission

    There is a lot you could get other than a burst….Gold top, conversion, a 68/69 which if early 69 is almost the same construction as a Burst/50s custom, early-mid 60s SG, 335…lots of quality vintage that isn’t a burst that could be more affordable (relative term I know)

    Better hope she doesn’t read the forums

    Was Greeny really broken into 25 pieces?

    It is getting played in a big stage. It is also getting younger guys interested in vintage guitars. I am good with it

    If you could own any burst…

    I saw McCartney’s ‘60 at Gruhns in the mid 80s. You could have had it for $6500 (maybe less with good negotiation :)).

    If you could own any burst…

    I have read that Eric doesn’t think he would recognize the guitar if he had it in his hands. Some of these older players from that generation aren’t as attached to the guitars as we are attached to having them together. Ok, Ed King, Jimmy Page and Peter Frampton were fairly stoked about having...

    If you could own any burst…

    Joe’s favorite is actually Snakebite (what he told me anyway). Seen him twice around town at studio time and he had it with him both times. Had in pictures from the blues cruise. Not highly figured but appears to speak to him as an instrument

    If you could own any burst…

    I know for a fact there are guys gigging bursts out of Nashville. I have a buddy who has a ‘59 he bought in the 80s. Has taken it on the road, played the Opry with it etc. not a star either. He is a hired gun player. I know if at least 4-5 others. You get paperwork on them and get...
