Gibson Les Paul Jr. (Special Faded?): Charlie Pickett On P-90s And 90s Pop

December 02, 2008
Gibson Les Paul Jr. (Special Faded?)

The young Mr. Charlie Pickett speaks with Gearwire about his experience in the studio with R.E.M.'s Peter "Uncle" Buck, and about another of his many Gibsons. This one is either a Jr. or a Special Faded, but whatever you call it, its wood sucks. As Charlie explains, this is not necessarily to the guitar's tonal detriment.

Presenter: Patrick Ogle and Bill Holland, Gearwire
