No one asks to borrow your guitars either, which is nice!” Especially when you consider how many guitar players there were in ’62. “We’re going to Europe, Australia, and Japan, then do another swing around the U.S. Hopefully, if it all goes well, we’ll take a break then do a studio album.”Asked whether he’s currently on the hunt for any specific southpaw instruments, Easton noted that while he has a ’60s Fender Malibu acoustic, he’s still seeking a lefty Kingman, “…because that was the dreadnought model in that series. He has a nice ’65 Gibson ES-335 with a Bigsby vibrato, and noted in ’96 he was looking for “a clean (Gibson) ES-330,” but as it turns out, he’s delighted with the two Epiphone ’65 John Lennon Casino reissue guitars he acquired. Its sound was fittingly sleek, while sporting obvious garage-rock roots. Certainly enough! “I don’t want to lose the charm of what we love about classic guitars; I just add some tweaks that make it a better player.”Easton is still a fan of Fender Telecasters, and his ’58 model is “…the oldest I’ve ever had.” He still has the Tele he played at Live Aid in 1984, although the body has been refinished and has a Jazzmaster pickup in the neck position. One of them ended up being played by Mick Jagger; that was the Pro 2, which had sort of a Tele pickup setup, but with a five-way switch, and it was a hardtail. I’d bet He has also kept the first decent flat-top guitar he ever owned – a 1970 Favilla F-5 he acquired at age 16 after saving his money while working at a bagel bakery.There’s also a circa 1980 Greco copy of a Stratocaster, with a Roland synthesizer.
“My Tele was a new ’77, but I changed the neck pickup to Hi-A Bartolini Firebird mini humbucker.”The commercial success of those albums allowed Easton to expand his arsenal.“Ric Ocasek was writing batches of songs every year with new attitudes and new approaches,” he said. He played lead guitar and sang backing vocals for The Cars.His guitar solos are an integral part of the band's hit singles.
“Obviously, “On ‘Touch and Go’ and a B-side called ‘Don’t Go to Pieces’ there’s a lot of Rickenbacker 12-string.
Elliot has sold over 30 million records worldwide. The feedback from guitar players was great. “It may have had something to do with Ray Dietrich, an automotive industry guy who designed the reverse Firebird. It’s a classic Gibson color, so my guitar is being offered in Pelham Blue with nickel hardware, or the traditional white with gold hardware, but the Pelham Blue version still has an ebony fretboard and all of the Custom-type appointments.”Also in the works is an Easton signature model Martin acoustic.“My favorite acoustics were always (Martin) D-18s and (Gibson) Hummingbirds,” he said. “Lots of bands feign disinterest, but I think, deep down, it’s an honor.
So my idea was to lengthen the scale. So before we started talking about a signature model, I had the Custom Shop make me a couple of two-pickup SG Customs – white with gold hardware and a Vibrola.
One of the genre’s biggest acts was the Cars. Easton Island is a collection of instrumentals that showcase the melodic sensibilities of the guitarist and his current musical associates in Elliot Easton’s Tiki Gods.
The Enthusiast ELLIOT EASTON: LEFT OUT IN THE COLD Throughout history, according to the Internet, lefties have always had it a bit rough. I compromised to 25″ even, and that had the effect of tightening up the low end and making the guitar ‘twang’ better.” Other features on the Gretsch included locking Sperzel tuners, a modern composite nut, an ABR-1-style bridge on studs that mounted into the body, and a special Bigsby with rollers, which improves the down-pressure, Easton noted. Other classic Fenders in his collection include a ’65 Stratocaster and a ’66 Jazzmaster, and he also has a too-cool ’64 Fender Bassman piggyback amplifier in blond Tolex.The rarest production-model guitar is a ’62 Gibson Barney Kessel Custom.
“I thought it was great, and it’s done really well,” he said. During the 15th and 16th century, left-handed people were often accused of consorting with the devil or being witches.
He has acquired more left-handed versions of classic instruments and turned some instruments, as well. I love the same stuff I’ve always loved, and about the only things I’m not interested in are Strats at 50 grand or Les Pauls for half a million bucks.”“Well, I don’t hoard guitars, other than things like the ’58 Tele, the Kessel, or my Strat, which I’d never sell.” he said.
If you watch Woodstock, almost everybody is playing an SG. Like a lot of guys my age, I’ve re-discovered a love of SGs. “But with a newer guitar, if I don’t have a use for it, I’ll let it go to someone who can use it.”
