I don't see anything more than a standard ES-150. The neck looks like mahogany to me based on that chipped lacquer patch by the first and second fret position and the exposed tuning machines holes....
Sco is one of those musicians who is totally at home in a live situation. My feeling is that he is yet to record anything in a studio that remotely approaches what he does in even an off night...
It's a unique and time proven business model that he includes a scheduled day before a recording date entirely for rehearsal and getting comfortable with the space. He knows what he wants and he also...
you know what ? I have not sold a single item on this dear web-site yet. not even a single answer or offer on all the items, that I offered here. guitars, amps, you name it. all the...
Body wood? Neck wood? Saddle material? Pickups? Strings? Does "everything" matter as many strongly assert, or is it the fingers as others strongly assert? Well, the following video is placing a...

I often play jazz on a 1973 Les Paul Recording model. They're a bit different to a regular Les Paul, notably the low impedance pickups. Tonally it's probably closer to something with fat sounding...
I used to own several different variations, my favorite was a 2007 R8. Loved that guitar, but at 63 years of age I couldn’t deal with the 9 lb weight on my shoulder any longer. I tried wide leather...
Your videos are high-art, Marc. I could see you playing here at the Dallas Museum of Art, with a bunch of the more sophisticated, rich, local patrons just fawning over you. Enjoy!
