What Guitars do the hip tour with?
#1

Ive searched and searched and searched, and cant find a previous posting other than a list of equipment from the bathhouse...

And since i'm no good at telling what the guitars are from the numerous photos of Paul and Bobby playing...does anyone know what kind of guiatars they wail on?

I know I saw Bobby with a PRS, looked like a Custom 22 or 24 to me... And Gord D. uses a Takamine acoustic... Paul has a Gibson Les Paul (probably Custom, but I'm not sure)...

There's a whole slew of guitars that the boys play

Paul tends to stick to the Les Pauls mostly, but I've seen him with a Telecaster once or twice (playing Good Life I believe). I think he may have had a Les Paul Jr. when they played We'll Go Too at Wasaga, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

As for Bobby, he's varied through a few different makes over the years. Lately the most common seem to be the PRS and the Strat, but he also plays what looks to be an Ernie Ball Music Man (or something thereabouts), and I've seen him play a Parker Fly in days gone by.

As for acoustics, all I know is that Gord uses a Takamine (as previously mentioned).

And lastly, the lap steel I've seen used is a Fender.

Ive also seen Gord using a Garrison - I think they are made in Newfoundland.
I would love it if their website had a listing of the gear they used on tour - guitars/amps/effects etc...

Robby also had a couple of Garrisons when they recorded IVL. I heard afterward he was so high on them that everyone in the band ended up getting one. Dunno if that's true, but Garrison used to have a letter from him quoted on their web site.

They also have some G&L guitars, Robbie's, I believe...and I also believe Paul has a Melody Maker somewhere.

I actually scored a couple of pictures of their rigs at The Causeway. I'll go look for them now.
