Now, what guitar did you get?
Becca CaffynGUEST
It is an Epiphone AJ something, which is basically the cheap version of the guitar I actually want, which is a Gibson J45.
Becca CaffynGUEST
But I don't currently have a few thousand pounds to drop on a Gibson.
Becca CaffynGUEST
So Epiphone it is.
Sam PopkinGUEST
It's kind of a common area for it to chip away at.

Sam PopkinGUEST
... for the chip away, 'cause of, like, you're a really hard strummer like John was.

Andy DalyHOST
I was with Dalton Wilcox, the poet laureate of the West, and Mutt Taylor, country music legend.
Andy DalyHOST
And I believe I gave him a Gibson J45 acoustic guitar and something I don't normally do.
Andy DalyHOST
Really? Because he hasn't
Matt GourleyGUEST
seen it yet.
Paula FongGUEST
And so he had a whole line of guitars that... were based on the Gibsons.
Paula FongGUEST
And so this one is based on the J45, which, you know, you can,

Jim LillHOST
Okay, so this is the music video, and he has a guitar.
Jim LillHOST
And I can't tell if it's a Guild F50, but it looks more like a Gibson J45 to me.
Jim LillHOST
Yeah, look, that's not the same body shape.
Jim LillHOST
These two guitars are not the same.
Ed ChenHOST
At some point, John and George switched them and the one that was lost was George's J-160.
