"A Walk Down Abbey Road" tour 2002 at Westbury Music Fair

Me with my SJ-200, Mark Farner playing my J-160,

and Jack playing his Gibson EB-1 bass.

Besides 2 Gibson J-160s, Epiphone also gave me 2 of these less expensive Epiphone J-160s at the beginning of the 2001 Walk Down Abbey Road tour.

I gave one to my son, Julian...

They also gave me this 

Epiphone "Texan".

This is the model on which Paul McCartney performed "Yesterday".  

I gave it to Stacy Williams-Snyder, 

one of the backup singers in my Clapton tribute band, as a wedding present.

These guitars were brilliantly hand-painted by a high school friend of mine, Lou Yanez.

(Except for George Harrison/Yellow Sub which was painted by my friend, Marty Muller.)

If you have a guitar you'd like painted, these are the guys to do it.
