Glenn's Equipment

[sodascouts]

Guys, I was thinking of dedicating a section of GFO to Glenn's equiment - his favorite guitars, pianos, mics, etc. The only problem - I don't really know anything about it! If anyone knows some of his instruments, please post them here!

The only things I know: he plays some Takamine and Rickenbacker (sp?) guitars.

I can't remember the details, but didn't Glenn have his own guitar designed for him at one point?

Is this the one you mean, dreamer?

I've seen one of these advertised on Ebay.

Why yes, GEF - I do believe that is what I was thinking about. I knew I could count on you! Am I the only one that thinks it very sad that this company designs a guitar in Glenn's name, and then can't even spell his name right in an ad!

[sodascouts]

Oh my gosh. That IS sad!

GEF, thanks for the link!

I believe I've seen him playing a Les Paul or two as well, in addition to the Takamine 12 string and the Rickenbacher that you've pointed out

[sodascouts]

Thanks Maleah! And I was thinking earlier today - wasn't "Old Black" a Gibson?

[glenneaglesfan]

Old Black is indeed a Gibson Les Paul, as is the nice sunburst red guitar he plays.



I only know this because my son has a replica version.

[sodascouts]

Lovely. This is just what I need. Thanks guys. It's time like these when I wish I had more of a clue about such things.

For a while he has used a different shape mic to the other band members:

First this one, whereas the others used the standard 'round' one although when Don was at the drums he used this shape:



Then he started using a dark coloured mic, again with a more oval shape than that used by the others:



But when he plays solo shows he reverts to the standard 'round grey' model. I would love to know why a) with the band his mic is a different shape b) why he then doesn't use it solo.
