CalebMac Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I saw a picture the other day of Jeff at one of his solo shows, and it looked to me like he had a sunburst Santa Cruz 000. Are my eyes decieving me, was that just the j45? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Those are two pretty different looking guitars! But yeah he plays a Santa Cruz and he plays a custom made guitar which I can't remember the name but it looks similar to it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CalebMac Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Right, I know he has the natural finish santa cruz, but does he have a sun burst one as well? I think the custom guitar might be a Montuoro Guitar (made by Wilco's guitar tech Frankie Montuoro). I know on his site there's a model he says was designed especially for Jeff. http://www.montuoroguitars.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Yeah I couldn't remember the name of the custom guitar but I've never seen him with a sunburst one actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CalebMac Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 I found the picture I was refering too: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Yep sure looks like one, same pickup he uses on his other Santa Cruz's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toothy Smile Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I'm pretty sure that guitar is a Gibson small body. The thin waist and type of sunburst looks classic small body Gibson to me. I could be wrong, but Santa Cruz don't burst 'em like that one and the tuners look like white buttons (another Gibby characteristic). Plus, the pickguard extends up over the rosette unlike Santa Cruz' typical OM style pickguards. I'd say maybe a Gibson L-00 or Nick Lucas. I wanna say Jeff has been seen playing Gibson's new Legend Series 1937 L-00. But, I'm not sure and can't verify where I got that information. Pro musicians often times play a lot of one-off, custom made guitars with their own specifications in mind. So, it can be pretty hard sometimes to identifty them to the standard models we all know. Anyway, I believe the custom that was referenced in an earlier post is a Breedlove. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CalebMac Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 Yep sure looks like one, same pickup he uses on his other Santa Cruz's. Yea I'm pretty sure he uses an L.R. Baggs m1 on all of his acoustics aside from his j45s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Kind of a fuzzy picture, but if it's the same one he had at Cain's in January, it's a late 30's early 40's large 'burst Gibson L-00. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
