Plus, "Girls, Girls, Girls" is tuned down a whole step, as far as I can tell. So the tuning is DGCFAD, but he's playing as if it were in the key of E.

I'm pretty sure it was a Jose Arrendondo modded Marshall (plexi?).

He seems to have some effect on it....chorusing? or something odd, but likable. I dont hear that tone often.

Anyone else?

I know Mick used the '59 at some point, but I always thought he was using the JB on Theater of Pain and GGG.
