What Gibson is this ?

[SirJackdeFuzz]

See it @ 7m12sec


It looks Real EXPENSIVE (like ALL Gibsons) . . . but hell, i LIKE it !




SECOND question :


I had a conversation with a fellow guitar player when we saw this clip.
He says all the above lead tones are very smooth sounding.
He say he prefers a gritty lead tone.

Can anyone explain to me / show me a GRITTY lead tone please !

The Johnny A. model, ...though I see 4 Gibsons in just the thumbnail image so I'm assuming which one you are asking about.

If you knew who was playing it you could have answered your own question!

What they said, Johnny A sig. My favorite Gibson actually, too bad I'll never in my life be able to afford one.

Watching all those star guitarists kinda stand around and look busy over TGP garage blues felt awkward

Johnny A hand picked the first 6 off the line 001 -006. He has the first 3, his mother got 004, my boss ended up with 006. I have played the guitar it is simply amazing.

There was a Standard version of the Johnny A a few years ago that was actually reasonably affordable (by Gibson standards, so...) but iirc, it had some significant construction differences over the CS model.

Re: What Gibson is this ?

The single best live guitar sound I've ever heard was from a guy playing a Johnny A. Really made me GAS for one, hard.

Re: What Gibson is this ?

Others said the model name, but I don't think anyone has mentioned that it is based on the Barney Kessel signature model of the '60's. It's smaller, but the basic shape is from the Kessel model. One version of the Trini Lopez signature shared the same body shape (though the headstock was 6-in-line, not open book).

Similarly, the Dave Grohl signature Gibson is based on the 335-style Trini Lopez signature model (though much more closely than the Johnny A. is based on the Barney Kessel).

Johnny A is without a doubt the best looking Gibson ever produced, IMO. So classy. Wish they had done a custom version with an ebony board and all that.

My wife and I have seen him a few times, always impressed with his playing....
