Paul McCartney's Touring '60

[oceantoad]

This was told to me by a trusted inside CS contact (who shall remain un named)

Interesting that it has not shown up in photos anywhere, on OUT THERE tour, studio rehearsals, or in any photos. He plays them as a rule. Are we talking a clone? Rumors of THE BASS clone is another story
..

Also curious if both sidemen (Rusty and Brian) are now in possession of real Lesters as reported?

Will put out a few more feelers through the camp, Nashville, and Memphis. If there is a Macca burst RI that would be cool IMHO.

I will try to get additional details, but this was many years ago, not recently. This was 2005 when I saw him play (he used a sunburst Les Paul which was clearly not his original '60) and was told that guitar I saw him playing was most likely the one made for him circa 2000 by the CS.

I posted the other lefty he used in NYC again below (from 2005)...compare upper horn driver side dark spot missing.




Another from Canada..this last weekend..

I'd have to think that is the one that I saw then, and the Historic made by the CS. Only way I knew it was not his original '60 was exactly that - the dark spot by the neck.

Greg; does he ever play the Goldtop? I don't think I've ever seen it being used.. Rusty still using the Divided bv 110 amps?

Yes, GT in studio.

Yes, both Rusty and Brian use Div X.

Ray uses BTR 23 model (Sig)

Playing a Burst makes you look [and feel] younger. :salude

Two Bursts are better than one eh, Tom?

What's your hurry?
Paul will merely be a spry seventy-four in June.

I know that Brian (and Rusty) have reissues from the runs that Vic DaPra spearheaded, from the Custom Shop.
Wonder if that's what Brian's playing.

I'd love to see Paul, again (last time was in '93!), if only I could swing those ticket prices.
Plenty of time until August, though, so... who knows?!
