madskier Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I really like the sound that comes out of Jeff's red hollow-body guitar he's been playing on this recent tour. Is that a Gibson? He most prominently played it on Walken at the recent Pines Theater show (Florence, MA). He may have used it on another tune as well but Walken definitely sticks in my mind especially with the intense electric guitar sounds throughout that song. I love that %*$#ing thing. It barks out those riffs really well and Jeff plays it great. Your thoughts on this guitar? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Chances are, either an ES-330 or an Epiphone Casino, if it wasn't Gibson, or his Barney Kessel, which is sunburst (he usually plays that for Walken). I've seen a few photos of him playing one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhc Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) It's a Gibson Barney Kessel model, and it both looks and sounds incredible. We also have a gear sub-forum here" "Solid State Technology" - come and check it out edit: was it this one? That's the Barney Kessel Edited July 25, 2006 by jhc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madskier Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 That's the one!! Always plays it on Walken. It's incredible. What year was that thing made (approx.)?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
summertweedy Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 holy cow, i haven't seen a picture of the band in a long time and jeff's richie tennenbaum look brought a big smile to my face. that is all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yankhotelfox Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I was at the Florence, MA show and that guitar looked sweet from where I stood too. A real beauty. Nice shot of Jeff wearing the headband. It was so hot. He didn't abandon his classic sportsjacket, even when it was in the mid 90s and humid. What a trooper. Kickass show too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brokendowntele Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 The Barney Kessels's were available from mid sixties to early 70's. He got that as a gift from Sue, and caled it his favorite guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 That's sunburst, not red Quote Link to post Share on other sites
