Look at the clip on the pickguard and then shoot yourself the bird in a mirror. I think you’ll figure it out then.:2cool
With respect, Having never been in the same room as a burst I wonder, the more bursts you play, do you discover how similar they all are or how different they all are to each other? Visual differences aside, talking sound and feel. Just saw the video of Joe on facebook playing Bosco for the first time prompted me to ask.

It's been a while since I've visited here... However I am quite familiar with this story, as part of the "safari" , is a connection here on Long Island, NY. ......And out of an incredible abundance of respect for Mr. B. I also, will wait for him to tell the story.I'm waiting to give Joe that pleasure. Hell...the hunt is half the fun!eace2
What amp is he playing? Nice sound.
It looks like the old Deluxe he uses a lot in his demos at home. It's been painted black.
He did say somewhere what year it was, I think he said 1955 and that it has a 70's blackback Celestion G12M fitted.
Then again, I could be wrong!

As I remember reading many years ago George and John would put flatwounds on their guitars when recording........don't know if their was any truth to that or not but their recorded sound was good and clean for sure.
Yes they did! They used strings provided by Selmer's which were actually Pyramid's. Pyramid's are made in Germany. Some of the Gibson Strings were made by Pyramid as well. there's documentation at the Pyramid Factory from Gibson, Gretsch & Guild Guitars that show order's for 1,000's of sets during the `50's & `60's into the mid- `70's. any string labeled "Selmer" sold in the U.K. was made by Pyramid!
