Michael Schenker has been playing a Gibson this past week

[midnightlaundry]

I’m pretty sure his Gibson Vs have always been dot inlays for the most part

Yeah, but his Dean's look bad ass. that Gibson looks like a cheap Import model..

The only Marshall I've ever owned. Bought in '98. MINT. Paid $400. Had to sell it. Still miss it. Supposedly, it's not a cool amp. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to fall in love with it.

Someone tell Schenker he's using a lame amp. LOL

Racer - I’m hoping you can carry the torch !! Marshall amps !! Old Gibson guitars , glorious sound from guys that can actually play !! It’s getting tough in my old age to keep the party going!!!!

It’s not lame if it’s the Marshall logo on it!!!!

Great amps. I have an 86 2210 at the moment; the one that got away was a particularly killer 87 2205 that was a perfect modded Marshall tone with the channel vol/gain on 10. Museum condition too. Sold it to fund one of my SLOs. Ugh.

 

[talpa]

wish he'd go back to the medallion v - take the pepsi challenge on that tone =\

Yup. Mine was an 87 also. Sickest Marshall tone I've ever heard was my stock 2205 hooked up to one my friend's Marshall 4x12's. (I don't remember which specific cab it was.) No pedals or other tone shaping devices. Guitar/cord/amp/speaker cable/4x12. My jaw hit the floor when he hit the first chord. When he played the bridge pickup, it was Van Halen 1 meets the Black album. Neck position was greazy AF. Just insane. The guitar was a Japanese Alder body Fender 21 fret rosewood fretboard Strat with the traditional bridge with bent steel saddles and a DiMarzio DP193 Air Zone in the bridge slot and DiMarzio DP403 Heavy Blues (NOT the DP409) in neck and middle.

He was using those when I saw him in San Jose , 2018. Supposedly he had Vintage 30s in his cab but the source I heard that from isn’t very reliable

He should just go back to playing the black/white edwards he is known for from the early MSG era. Killer guitars. As much as I love Gibson history, Schenker sounds and plays better on his Dean V's. That was very apparent in these clips to me as a "UGE" MSG fan.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

BTW a little tip off to me with regards to legal issues, is the fact that the MSG banner has the headstock crudely taped to make the white V headstock vs the Dean V headstock. Very telling

Here's one that looks like he's playing the new-ish 80s Flying V

This really sounded great!

Pretty sure these are Edwards. No logo on headstock. I'm rocking one with dot in lays. ( which he also played - armed and ready ) Love it. His Gibson days were UFO i thought.

I guess I am wrong but I am pretty sure they didn't want to give him a sig and shortly after he bailed and went to edwards.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Reorganizing my basement at the moment ao crap all over but here is my Edwards. No logo on headstock, I'd think gibson always would have done their logo.
