I had never been
interested in these simple early Gibson's but we went to a
Georgie Fame gig and really loved the evening.
He opened at the Piano singing Golly Miss Molly with his
back to the audience but looking over his shoulder.
From the very first second he Rocked!
So too did his guitarist. It was his son
Tristan Powell and he played one of these.
His solo that evening was Little Red House and he got this
125T to sound like Hendrix. He just hit
it, let the sound build into a massive everything,
then played. How do you do that with
a single P90? I had to have one.
Luckily I found this
perfect one in Georgia and I played it all summer.
It turned out to be a fabulous Blues guitar.
I am quite tempted to look for another. |
