GALLERY: John Porter's Guitar Collection

Porter muses over the highlights of his vast collection used on records by everyone from B.B. King to Eric Clapton to the Smiths.

1960 Gibson Stereo ES-345

"1960 was the first year this model featured the slightly wider and slightly flatter blade neck, embedded with beautiful parallelograms. The guitar's PAF pickups run to separate output jacks that can be routed to two different amps at once. Porter describes the guitar's stereo sound as, B.B. King circa 1960, the Live At the Regal period."
