Steve Stevens Goldtop-wraptail humbuckers

[Emerald]

At the recent pre-NAMM Friedman amplification concert featuring Phil X and Steve Stevens, with Pete Thorn and Billy Morrison for the introduction of Steve's new Friedman SS 100 Signature amplifier.
Steve is using a humbuckered wrap tail Gold Top with black trim.
What an awesome amp this is, I believe Steve was using a Koko boost on some solos and using the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo to great effect.
On Les Paul Forum I posted this and some said the guitar may be one of the 55 series reissues. Basically an Oxblood style Gold Top.
Sounds killer..

This two channel amp has a Fender Twin style clean channel and the similar to Hairy Brown Eye channel which is more traditional Marshall plexi styled, obviously with more gain as Steve prefers, but this amp is extremely versatile.
Basically the final version of the Marsha amp Steve has been touring with for the past two years.
Liking this Gold Top, wonder what pickups he has in it?

Indeed he is my friend...

Caught him as the guest guitarist on "That Metal Show" one night. He's great on Billy Idols stuff, but he plays what the song needs. On this he was showing off, foolin' around. Man, he's good...

Thanks guys. The Friedman SS 100 is around $3.6K completely built and handwired in the USA. Very competitive I feel.
The amp does it all.
I agree all these Tacos and Hairy Brown Eyes are gross, but they seem to get a kick out of it.
The latest Steve has his own line of Ernie Ball Cobalt strings with his wife Josie on the package. .010 through .048
Should be killer.
Any ideas on what model Les Paul he is using.
Cheers

Steve Stevens is such a badass!!! So under appreciated...

underapreciated? maybe. badass? well he was on a reality series 2 or 3 years ago, him, perry farrell, billy duffy, duff mckagen and their wives/gf's. he came off as quite the bitch, with some kind of goofball habit, xanax or something. billy duffy also seemed like a real dick, while the other 2 were cool, at least on camera. steve's wife is like a living cartoon character, and was funny as hell.
