I've got a few more somewhere, I've got one with John Martyn with this guitar and a bootleg of the same gig, Koss was totally wasted.
[FONT=Verdana","sans-serif]This picture shows that Paul was a little guy with the heart of a lion on the guitar. Look how big the Lester looks on him! A heavy Les Paul and cranked Marshalls with bass speakers! It's a wonder he wasn't literall knocked off the stage by hisrig! [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana","sans-serif]Here's a bootleg clip from Sunderland for those that haven't heard it.....[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana","sans-serif]Nice pictures.... I am pretty positive this is the burst that I have played a few times on stage in Newcastle Uk. It is awesome and is the best sounding Les Paul I have ever played. ( including my own 59's) I think Gibson is doing a replica that is due out soon of this guitar. I am so glad to see a PK model !! My idol![/FONT]

PS - Does anyone know what effect Koss had on for the Wishing Well recording?
Actually Yannick, Koss used 13s. He did like his action high but who knows if the guy who owns the burst now does.
13s!!? Now, I feel like a sissy!! :dude:
BTW: Thanks for all your help with identifying all the "burst" pics and all your other contributions! I really appreciate it JRW!! :salude
And as far what burst is on All Right Now, they in the midst recording the Fire & Water album around the time of Isle Of Wight. So I assume it was the stripped burst used on those tracks.
Again, not a problem. Anything for a fellow Koss fan. Im a Koss Fan/Freak/Worshipper/Disciple...whatever term you come up with thats pretty much what i am. Ive said it on here before but what Koss did was the high E and B were from a .013 set of Fender Rock n Rollers(Original 150s as they are now called). His G was a bajo string because he couldnt find an unwound 3rd that was heavy enough for his tastes. And the remaining three strings were Gibson Sonomatics(now called L5s)
Thanks a lot, I always wanted to know that.
And now for a even more obscure question:
One of my favorite track always was "my brother jake". This one would have been the lemon burst, not?
Actually in the video he plays the white strat but the record clearly sounds like a burst.
Very cool info JRW! :dude: Btw: If you are looking for a cool Koss collectable! This is a Free/Kossof picture disc I bought at a record fair last week! The record is just SMOKING!
