[kj] OT - es295 sighting..

[Christof hamille]

Cliff would be the best to answer since he actually touched it (the guitar that is).


>From what I remember he uses a heavier gauge because he tunes down.  Maybe to D and then the top D even lower.  So in that case it is better to have thicker strings so you don't have to much flop.  


I think Geordie started to tune down around Firedances.  But I'm not sure.

Not sure. I read something similar too. I use a 10 on the high e with heavy bottoms. Still experimenting around with the strings setup since I've only had it a short time. 12's would be a bit much for me I think!

Btw, does Geordie use a string set starting at .012(the "little" E)? That is supposed to add a lot to his sound (I think someone posted here a long time ago) yeah?

Hah, That's me, although with the Epiphone version. (along with fellow gatherer singing Mr. Aleph) from our first show as the sisters tribute band The Reptile House. I have to say the workmanship is very very close to the gibson one. I played a gibson one at guitar center and other than the gibson not having the bigsby, it, extremely close in quality (minus about $2000)

Thanks for the info, I really thought it was one, and in the unlikeliest of hands, too.
 
Though I thought i'd read somewhere that there are (or, were) sunburst es295s, 
along with all-black versions (Johnny Marr, i think?).

I’d hazard a guess at a Guild . . they have/had tailpieces that look a lot like that 
 
Maybe one of these?

The other “not 295” giveaway is the fact it is sunburst

No -  definitely not Gibson. Plus it's got humbuckers rather than p90's. Could be a Hagstrom...the modern one's have the same tailpiece.

Does that look like a Gibson es295 guitar http://www.strawberryswitchblade.net/gallery/switchblade_11.php

(at right, with Strawberry Switchblade)? 

I'm going by the tailpiece; I can't make out how thick the body is.
