Title: Izzy's guitar in the Welcome video? Post by: electricmage on January 14, 2005, 05:05:21 AM What type of guitar is that. A hollow body LP?
Title: Re: Izzy's guitar in the Welcome video? Post by: echrisl on January 14, 2005, 04:15:11 PM It's a hollow-body Gibson, I think it's an ES-175.
Title: Re: Izzy's guitar in the Welcome video? Post by: electricmage on January 15, 2005, 04:00:07 PM are you sure? It looks more like a LP then a old school archtop. The 175 is a pretty decent size.
Title: Re: Izzy's guitar in the Welcome video? Post by: IzzyDutch on January 15, 2005, 06:19:05 PM It's Gibson hollowbody, not an ES-175 cause that one is thick, I'm not 100% sure but I thought that it was a ES-275
Title: Re: Izzy's guitar in the Welcome video? Post by: electricmage on January 16, 2005, 12:11:39 AM yeah thats what i figured. It looks like an LP and I swore I saw a LP hollow body once. I'll look at the video more carefully.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38085&item=3774932256&rd=1 From HTGTH Equipment page: Izzy Stradlin Rhythm & Lead Guitars [1985 - 1991] Guitars: Gibson ES-175 Gibson Les Paul Gibson Byrdland Fender Telecaster Gibson 355 Amps: Fender Bassman heads with a Mesa Boogie 4x12 cabinet with EV speakers in the bottom and Celestions on top Here's a link to the equipement page(where I got the above): http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/misc/equipment.html He's not playing the Gibson 335, because that's a double cut-away. I guess it could also be the Gibson Byrdland, but I don't think the shape of it looks quite right (Specifically the shape of the cutaway, on the Byrdland it's rounded, on the ES-175 it comes to a point). It's too big to be a Les Paul semi-hollow. Another reason I think it's the ES-175 that it's specifically mentioned in this article: Quote As Guns N' Roses entered Canoga Park's Rumbo Studios to record basic tracks for Appetite, Slash was a little under equipped, to say the least. He had a Jackson guitar with a "tweaked neck" and a borrowed Marshall cabinet. Izzy Stradlin' wasn't much better off, having only recently acquired an open-back Carvin 4x12 for his MESA/Boogie head and self-painted Gibson ES-175 hollowbody. Link to article: http://www.pressa.com.br/dani/gnr/modules.php?name=Sections&sop=printpage&artid=64 So anyway, there's some evidence to back up my guess. Take it or leave it.

Post by: Dayle1066 on January 18, 2005, 11:00:29 AM Its definitly not a hollow body les paul its too thick, i have a poster with the guitar on and it is a 175 im pretty sure of it
Title: Re: Izzy's guitar in the Welcome video? Post by: electricmage on January 23, 2005, 06:15:48 AM hmmm. Well I found out what guitar I had seen previously. Its a ES-137. Size of a LP with sharper cutaway horn and f holes.
