That video is one where afterwards he and Gibson got into it. You can hear him talking about the strings at the end of the vid. The guitar was poorly set up and had strings installed wrong and it wasn't sounding good. So Joe didn't play any "new" Gibson's after that. The Gibson's Joe plays on Hell Freezes Over are all older ones. Gibson unfortunately had some severe quality control issues and some people wouldn't and some still won't buy a new Gibson guitar because they have had set-up issues and sometimes more serious things like badly installed frets, etc. It wasn't good. So I don't blame Joe one bit for not wanting to use them. You got to be able to "play" them and all.
It's a shame Gibson can't make guitars like they did in the 50's, with the original techniques and practices. They could if they wanted to because there are people making replica Les Paul's that sound almost the same as an original. I guarantee you if they did make them the "right" way they'd have a TON of business. Gibson's 50's reissue guitars are nothing like the originals. Now they are more interested in making guitars for bands like the Jonas Brothers or things like that and making "robot" guitars. It's a shame. And I don't blame any of their staff or workers, but I think Gibson's CEO is a joke. He's in it for the money, and he'll tell you when he bought the company he did so because he knew it would be a money-maker. That's ok, but at least care about what you are putting out there and listen to customer requests. Companies like Paul Reed Smith, Carvin, Fender, etc actually care about the guitar and the customer's requests. That's probably why we don't see Joe playing too many Gibson's these days. In fact, I haven't seen him play any lately.
Ok...rant over! I'm very passionate about guitars if you can't tell!
Eagles version of Turn to Stone, I apologize for another copy of this, but it's just sooo good...what guitar is this one, OGG...looks old. Joe and Felder have at it.
