#echosonic

Throwback to @moreguitar’s collection, one year ago, and one of the most incredible, rare, and iconic #amps I have ever had the privilege to be in the same room with. And the #guitar ain’t no slouch neither! 😀 . The guitar is of course a 1959 #Gibson #ES295. The #amp is an ultra rare (only 68 ever made) 1950s #EchoSonic, made by #RayButts, who also designed the humbucking Filtertron pickup for #Gretsch. This was the first amp ever to have a built in delay and was famously used by Chet Atkins, Scotty Moore (see third photo), Carl Perkins, and more recently, @joebonamassa! . . #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageamp #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzxivg_BhrZ/?igshid=thjnxqiezgnm

Wayback #WednESday to my visit with @moreguitar in the summer, and his 1959 #Gibson #ES295 and rarer than rare #RayButts #Echosonic #amp. Somewhere #ScottyMoore is smiling. PS: if you zoom in on that photo on top of the amp you can see it’s a pic of #Elvis with Scotty using this same type of amp in the background. Less than 70 of these were ever made. They were the first amp to incorporate a tape echo effect on-board and they were used by heavy duty players like Scotty and #ChetAtkins. Wikipedia says Scotty used his on every recording he ever made with Elvis. #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/BrSzoAXnhJV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m0btni9eg8zv

Throwback #WednESday to my visit last month with @moreguitar and his incredible 1956 #Gibson #ES295 and uber rare 1950s #EchoSonic #amp. There were less than 70 of these #amps ever made and they were played by the likes of #CarlPerkins, #ChetAtkins, and of course #ScottyMoore. That picture on the amp shows Scotty and his Echosonic playing with #Elvis. #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #gibsonguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gibsonsofinstagram #guitarphotography #vintageamp https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmggxjpl14s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5y1e6ohn24d6
