Oh no! They say he's got to go! Looks like Godzilla has returned, to the dismay of Buck Dharma. They should have illustrated with the white SG, though. Apparently, this is a real thing--a "Garbage Pail Kids" bubblegum card that was produced in by the Topps company in a 2017 "Hard Rock" series. LOL.  |

That's period correct. I played the tobacco sunburst Les Paul Deluxe at the time of that gray outfit. That was around On Your Feet.

BTW: has anyone ever produced a list of what guitars were played when? - it might help date certain photos...

Great idea. I'd forgotten the Les Paul but must have seen Buck play it. It may have been a hallucination but I'm sure I saw Buck also use a Strat for one song (sorry can't remember which one) at gigs circa the late seventies or early eighties. There was also the natural/blonde finish SG that wasn't actually a Gibson in use around the same time.

I've seen that before, but there's no dates or contextual info there - a while back, I jotted down an initial list - all I have to do is fill in some of the blanks and add date ranges for their usage - piece of cake!!  : Guitars:Stella acoustic Premier Jazz Box (with two pickups) Gear:Ampeg Reverb Rocket Amp Sears 2x12" guitar amp I know Buck then got a "Hagstrom", but I don't know when, or how long it was used for... Nor do I know what guitar he used 1965-1966 in The Disciples, nor 1966-1967 in the Travesty. Was that the Hagstrom? 1968-1971 years SWU SFG Dunno what guitars were used during these years, but gear-wise I did read they bought Acoustic 260s with their first advance because they were Doors fans. Also, a John Weisenthal-stencilled amp was up on eBay a few years back... My presumption is that Buck would also have bought a new guitar with that advance, but I dunno what it was... After that, well the list goes like this, as per that link Randy mentioned, but as I said, I don't have dates yet (plus I reckon some of them on this list weren't in use for long or had 'one-off' type applications): 1969 Gibson SG Standard (later redone in white - "lost" in 1990 at an outdoor Festival in San Antonio TX) - but when did it enter the story... Tobacco Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (bought new around 1973) Gibson Les Paul Black BeautyMartin D-35 ("In Thee") Guiliano Balestra Vulcan
Fender Stratocaster
St. Blues
Rick Kresiak Custom SG
Steinberger P Series
Steinberger M Series
Steinberger M Series Double Neck
Steinberger "Cheese Berger"
Harper Buck Dharma Signature ModelGear:Marshalls Music Man amps Boogie Mark II heads If anyone can fill in any blanks, please do so... |

Actually, I've just noticed that if you click on those images, rather than just run your mouseover them to see the image, you get a little pop-up with some more info in - I'm sure I clicked on them the last time I checked that page out and nothing happened, but maybe I'm going mad... I know some people who would say: "what do you mean going...?" Anyway, I'll see what info I can glean from that extra info and fill in a couple of blanks myself, hopefully... |
