does lou use the country gentleman on "i heard her call my name?"

any other good pics of lou with his country gentleman?

There's this one from the Boston Tea Party - it might be the same guitar, that he added the extra pickups and the Vox effects to (and repainted?), or this might be the White Falcon that Jamie Klimek refers to on the Live '68 notes. The info on the modified gtr is pretty sketchy - Sterl mentions it in Uptight, but I've never seen a good clear pic of it.

Haha, believe me, Lou won't remember!

i'm thinking that he did use the country gentleman on "i heard her call my name", even if just on the solo.

the hollow body is perfect for feeding back and howling while cutting glassy gretsch tones peal through his exploding mind.

no other pics of the gentleman? i was wondering if i could ID the exact model number. could tell easily if there were a picture showing whether or not the F-holes were painted on, or if the guitar has the string mute switches near the bridge.

Aside from the guitar, that last photo is one of my favourites, because I can pretend (with a little justification) that the band is plaing BADS
