Anyone catch CMA Music Festival last night- Brad Paisley rocking his EB

[Dr.Strangenote]

This might be old news, sorry if it is. I just got excited when I saw him with a Ball. I saw him rocking a red Albert Lee in another random photo, but last night was the first time that I caught him playing one live. Again, sorry if this is old news. I don't get out much! LOL!

I'd buy that if I had the money

And a vintage pre-Ernie Ball Music Man guitar to the right!

And the cat in the back had a doubleneck BFR Silhouette...

 

[JMD]

hmmm - Brad Paisley sig model?...just sayin...

 

[straycat113]

I wonder if he named that ax Alabama.

 

[Joshmc5150]

I love Brads playing... but that might be a biased opinion since we are both from the same state..

Actually he is a damn good player.. and this is coming from a guy who plays too much metal. I really like Brads style.. and has actually turned me on to country music.

I love that guitar, great finish courtesy of Crook guitars. Would lose the tele bridge though and keep it stock MM90s.

No way... That's what makes it such a cool guitar, you get the best of both worlds. I'd buy one in an instant.

I couldn't agree more! The Tele bridge is what really makes that guitar unique. I'd like one - even without the Crook finish. Have you listened to any clips of that guitar? Holy Jebus does that thing sound amazing! Yeah - I know - BP can really make any guitar sound good, but this one was just awesome! I'd order one of those straight up. Lovely instrument - great work by all involved.

A sunburst model!

 

[spkirby]

Unfulfillable GAS

(Probably just as well)

OK the tele bridge does look awesome but I am more in love with that silver paisley!

 

[ScreaminFloyd]

Does the Fender Telecaster bridge and 3 saddles change the tones at all on this guitar? Was Brad going for the Telecaster bridge look? Or does the Telecaster bridge add the Tele Twang?

 

[beej]

The bridge definitely has big tonal effect. That's where most of the "twang" come from.

 

[ScreaminFloyd]

Ahh Thanks Beej. Thats an easy Mod and looks cool too !

 

[browndog]

Looks like an Axis, right?

 

[NHsouthpaw]

Love to do that to an old OLP (not going to mess with a ASS), but finding a lefty one is tough, and they usually want about $100 more than when it was new.

That is such a cool guitar. When this was posted before - I never noticed it had a G-bender on it; I thought BP was mostly a B-bender guy. I should have watched a bit more of the program; I only saw BP's opening number and he was playing a new Crook (or at least one I hadn't seen before) on that number.

Looks like he put on a fake truss rod cover as well. I really like the Tele Bridge twang idea on the Super Sport. Either way it's a fabulous Guitar.
