How many guitars have you got? It’s a question that guitarists inevitably ask of one another – and usually pretty early on in a conversation! It may sound as though there is an element of competition involved but the truth is that, as any guitarist worth his plectrum will tell you, from the moment you purchase your first guitar you enter into a lifetime love affair with the instrument that always seems to require “just one more” to satisfy the yearning.
So, with that in mind, here is the list of the guitars that Bob used on the High Horse album sessions:
Today Was Made for You & Me: ‘66 Fender Telecaster fitted with an early ‘70’s Fender wide-range humbucker.
High Horse: ’71 Gibson ES335
Every Time I Roll the Dice: ’98 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Double Cut with P90’s
Country Cousins: ’77 Fender Strat
Darkness in My Soul: 2013 Gibson Les Paul Standard
’66 Epiphone Riviera 12-string
Fixin’ to Die: Ozark Brass Resonator
’59 Gibson Les Paul Double Cut with P90’s
’58 Gibson Les Paul Junior
Stay That Way: ’77 Fender Strat
Last Train Home: ’72 Fender Telecaster
Indecision: ’87 Custom Giffin Standard
Not a Day for Playing the Blues: ’77 Fender Strat
Some Other Guy: ’71 Gibson ES335
Tore Down: ’71 Gibson ES335
’64 Epiphone Casino
Does Bob have many other guitars? Of course he does – but there’s always room for “just one more”!
