Sam's thin-bodied Gibson archtop

Written by Dermot on Saturday, 08 May 2010

"It's a Gibson 125 (T) and it's got a P90 pickup. I bought it because one of my favourite guitarists is a guy called Martijn Van Iterson. He plays on one of these with a thick body and I want to sound a bit like him. It's from 1958. I haven't heard players use this in other styles [Sam is a jazz player] but I'm sure they do."
