GutenAbend Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Does anyone know what year his j45's are? Or his B25.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I think the one in the IATTBYH DVD was a 1954. I also believe that guitar was sold on ebay after the YHF touring was done. I know one of his J45s was, not exactly sure it it was that one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) Gibson started using the long (pointed) pickguards on J-45's in 1955. Also, both of the J-45's I saw on stage at the Lincoln show in February had the pre '59 sunburst so I would guess both of the J-45's he takes on tour are between 1955-1958 models. The B-25 is anybody's guess. If I had to I would say 1964, give or take six years . On both account I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. By the way, he still has the one seen in IATTBYH, same Grover rotomatics, same little pictures above the fretboard on the treble side.

a.miller Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 same little pictures above the fretboard on the trable side.Does anyone know what these are / were? I thought for awhile they were guitar picks, but I can't imagine Jeff, in all of his guitar love, to push a pick under the fretboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfwahl Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 They show the pictures in the Wilco Book. Highly recommended. Comes with a cd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AWOL Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 i thought he used new ones for touring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 The only new acoustic guitar I've seen him with or photos of him with is the Santa Cruz 000. I agree, it's odd to tour with so many vintage guitars; I was really shocked to see him break out that shaded-top 1938 Martin 000-18 for Acuff Rose in Lincoln.
