I miss it. I would love to know why he no longer plays it, although the Sunburst is a good substitute.

Thanks for these great "Old Black" pics, GEF and FP. I have a special affection for that guitar - it has a great sound. I particularly like that LID pic of Glenn - that's when he ended "Heartache Tonight" with that triple strum, right?
The guitar sounds especially great in HFO on "Get Over It" - and then Glenn looks so majestic too while playing the solo. He doesn't achieve that same feedback/echo effect during the intro on stage as he does in the studio, though.
Interesting, though: his version of "Smuggler's Blues" in LID is great, playing "Old Black", but I prefer the version he does with the Eagles in Pittsburgh, 1994. I love that drawn out intro he does, as well as the brilliant solo at the end (like the record, which he doesn't do in LID) and it's with a different guitar, although I think that was also a Gibson.
I've got a peaceful, easy feeling
And I know Glenn won't let me down
