Guitars used on songs
« on: March 05, 2018, 10:56:59 AM »
This picture of MK from the studio with the guitar is the guitar I saw last time probably during on every street tour (Your Latest Trick)  ;)
I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

I am not 100% sure it's exactly the same guitar.
or maybe a pickup has been added ?
because if you look at your latest trick on the OTN video, it seems to lack a pickup regarding the pic in studio


between 2:16 and 2:36, you can see clearly a close up of the guitar

Last seen live, I think, on the 1990 Hillbillies tour on Run Me Down etc.  You can see it on the "Swan Hunter" bootleg. Is it his 1960 Gibson L-5 CES perhaps?

Seems to be the same guitar model but a different instrument. You can tell it’s not the same guitar by the finishing. A true beauty!

I really like this forum. This guitar reminded me of Your Latest Trick. And the discussion is developing beautifully and I learned something about this guitar again :)

The one from your latest trick is a Gibson super 400, Gibson has some very similar models, sizes, colours etc... Actually from Gibson that ones are my favourite.

Usually used on songs with a country flavour, aren't they?  Chet used these things heaps.

Wouldn't bother me as I like Mark doing country rock.  When it Comes to You, How Long etc.

the Gibson Super 400 (the one used on your latest trick on the OES tour) was used on :

- fade to black (studio and live version)
- On every street : the lick just after "on every street..."
- Blue moon of kentucky and Baby let's play house on the Scooty Moore show
and surely on many other sessions, most likely for old jazzy-country tunes






it's the guitar shown on famous phllips/OES promo tour



the guitar seen in Guy's diary is the one used on the NHB Snape Show in 90

Apologies if somebody has already mentioned this, but I can’t be arsed to go back and check.

I believe the Gibson Mark is using in the new studio diary is an ES-5. There is a photo of him experimenting with the same instrument in the Tracker diary with a Gretsch 6120 and a Guild electric (can’t recall the model) sat around him, though I don’t know whether any of these guitars actually made it onto any of the final recordings.

On Every Street? Check Ingo's site, I'm pretty sure it's the Schecter.

I wonder if he has two ES-5's? The one pictured in the 2018 diary is the same as the one from the Tracker diary but it's not the same ES-5 as the one used in the 80s, right? The one used in the 80s had a Bigsby bridge and this one has no whammy bar.
