I think he collect some of Gibson Sg type too :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to hear Eric playing so comfortably in various styles on different brands and types of guitars. I'm sorry I missed him with Steve Vai a couple of weeks ago since they played just up the road a piece. I could have kicked myself.
ReplyDeleteGreat guitars! Of course, Eric could make a shoestring tied between two fence posts sound good...
ReplyDeletetrue that man, he's some overly skilled Guitar God and gotta say I especially love trademark and Cliffs of Dover(the REAL CoD)
DeleteGotta say I admire his collection, I'm lucky enough to have a similar es 335(although mine is a dot) but same colour!
