Neil Young

Here's a link of Neil playing what looks like a Guild to my untrained eye. Anyone fill us in on the details?

Most definately an old Guild. It's really hard for me to see in the video, but if I had to guess, I'd say an F20 maybe. Hans?

Any possibility it's the M20 referenced here?:

Could very well be Al.

I was just to post the same video.
Yep an M-20.
Saw him play this last month in Milwaukee.
I think that guitar will be featured in his new release.

You give them enough time and they eventually come around. Just look at Elvis in his later years with his Guild jumbo. Too bad they are many times past the point of making an impact in the popularizing of the brand or guitar. Young will forever be known as a Martin man.

And, definitely a LR Baggs M1 soundhole pickup.

Wish mine sounded that nice..

That guitar has had some special; work done on it:

Man, I liked that... Thanks for the post...

That M-20/Baggs setup is perfectly suited to that tune. Darn near haunting... Has he released the new album yet?

 

[jjl1118]

Scratch, the new album comes out Sept. 28. But, be forewarned, there are only two cuts of the eight that are acoustic. The balance is electric. A link posted here earlier gets you to NPR where you can here the entire album. For my taste, this is one of the finest cuts on the album.

When I saw him a on this tour, "walk with me" was the closer, and it was enough to send chills down your spine!

"As a guitarist, he exploits his limitations so thoroughly that they've become his strengths."

This is a GREAT quote...perhaps words to live by (excluding "as a guitarist")

I heard "Walk With Me" (from his latest album, produced by Daniel Lanois) on the radio yesterday. Wonderful use of restrained distortion & echo.
