Neil Young's Guitar
Over on the forum Guitarramania.com (in spanish), some great photos of Neil's guitar Old Black. This Neil Photo of the Moment is amazing, with guitar tech Larry Cragg showing the extreme wear and abuse which Old Black has suffered over the years from "Hurricane", "Down by The River", and other feedback laden finales that leave him lying in shreds on the stage floor.
Visually, Neil's Gibson 1953 Gold Top Les Paul is the electrical equivalent to Willie Nelson's battered "Trigger" -- his well-worn Martin acoustic guitar.

Man, poor Ol Black sure looks like he's taken a beaten.
Or is Ol Black a she?

[QUOTE]I don't think I've ever seen such a worn-out electric, that was still in use as a main axe. A whole career of albums played out on that guitar![/QUOTE]
Haven't you seen SRV's Strat 8{}
SRV would abuse and beat up his guitar onstage, as well as play on it really hard.
Neil thrashed his guitar by JUST playing on it, he doesnt lpay particularly violently nor does he smash the thing into the ground or throw it off of walls like SRV did
not knocking on SRV, i am a big fan of his ;-)
Was this clone taken from an original stem cell? This puts a whole new meaning to "When God made me". Oh, doh! That was an acoustic! But was it original? Oh,man I'm confused now....
As far as most worn by playing, does the name Rory Gallagher mean anything?
I think the instrument looks Perfect.
I am young , but I have every SRV DVD and CD.
I love his music, sorry he was killed weeks before before I was born.
any how - you got a nice music site going here !!
I am just 17 and a high school babe right now.
And I read your web stuffs,when I get a chance.
Keep up the good work, I love it AAAA++++ , I am going to tell all my friends about this site !!
Oh ya - I took in a concert to see the new rock,blues guitar sensation GW Williams in Hollywood a few weeks ago, and I must say it was incredible, GW Williams has so much energy in his music, everything from the singing to the guitar is first class.The way he works a crowd and plays the guitar must be seen to be believed. AWESOME is all I can say 2 thumbs up 100%.
Thanks Sandra LaBra
