That's a cool outside pic with the Phase 90, never seen that before!

Koss said it was a strat. He actually uses a strat quite a bit on the Highway album.

In addition, he uses a Strat in the "My Brother Jake" music video... I think it's the same one on the cover of his solo album but I'd have to go check that video out again to be positive. :salude
And there goes another teenage illusion of a certain sound and how it was made :rofl
All those years I thought I was hearing a burst. That goes to show me to never be too sure about gear and what I think I hear on a record.
There is Les Paul on the record, just certain parts. The Stealer is definately a Les Paul. But the thinner sounding stuff like Ride On Pony, Love You So, etc etc are definately a strat.
His wife Sandhe told me he got the white strat from Clapton along with his 'lemon burst' after attending a Clapton show and going backstage to hang out with him. No, im not getting that confused with the Darkburst he previously got from Clapton in trade for the Custom.
You mean there is a slight chance the lead bits and fills on "brother jake" are indeed a Les Paul?
Phew, I feel much better now
So, I know Koss traded his custom for EC's darkburst but now your telling us that he got his "Lemon Burst" from him as well??
Wel now I'm speechless! :biggrin:
Guitarist Snuffy Walden was originally credited on the Heartbreaker album for the guitar on "Wishing Well" & "Easy On My Soul". Whoever it was on "Wishing Well", the effect on the lead guitar track was a Leslie.
What is your guys' opinions on the lead from "Come Together In The Morning" and "Heartbreaker?' Did Koss play both?
Its difficult for me to tell. I read it was Snuffy, Rodgers, and kirke taking turns filling in for him on that album. Im fairly sure though that i have read that he mainly contributed to 3 tracks on the Heartbreaker album. I could be wrong but i believe those three songs were Wishing Well, Heartbreaker, and Come Together In The Morning. If those are the ones and im correct, it is probably Koss then.
The CD reissue booklet says that Kossoff played on Come Together In The Morning, Travellin' In Style, Heartbreaker, Common Mortal Man and Seven Angels; Simon Kirke played rhythm guitar on Muddy Water and Snuffy Walden played on Easy On My Soul. That leaves the lead on Wishing Well to Paul Rodgers I suppose.
