The magic in his tone, besides the P-90's and his touch, is that Bad Cat amp.
I can't tell which model Bad Cat it is, but I've gotten some of the best blues/roots tones out of Bad Cat, 65 Amps, and Matchless amps. They sound fat and harmonically rich, like no other amps.
And that reminds me of how anxious I am to go to the LA Amp/Guitar Show next week.

RIGHT!!!
It is the Flaxwood but with a tremolo but the key is the Bad Cat...I dig some of those amps.
I like Matchless amps better but the Bad Cat stuff is GREAT.
The Bad Cat Panther is a beast of an amp!
That said you could get that sound with a nice old Marshall or bigger tweed Fender.

This is interesting, to me at least. Same band (pretty much) but a different performance and George is playing a Strat instead of the Flaxwood with P90's. Still real good...but different. Bonnie's my favorite slide player of them all - love Duane & Ry Cooder too, but I like Bonnie best. How she sings so beautifully while playing slide in tune and so effectively at the same time just impresses the heck out of me.
