‘78 Gibson LesPaul Deluxe John’s oldest guitar, this Cherry Sunburst classic makes a few appearances on the “Cobalt Blue” & “Songbook.” The Rosewood fret board & Humbucking pickups provide the unmistakably warm Les Paul tone, which supplies the throaty sustain to the electric slide passages on “Cobalt Blue,” “Wax Anvil” & “Here, With You.” John used a Line 6 Flextone II amplifier with his vintage Les Paul. |
