Cowboy fancy Ibanez BWM1

Forums:

Does anybody here know the last time Bob played this guitar onstage? Is the weight the reason we haven’t seen it? Or some other reason. Just curious

Saw him play it with Ratdog in worcester, ma back in 2003.

Bob's been endorsing D'Angelico so he plays them on stage. Beyond that, I think he likes lighter weight guitars. There's a big difference between 7 and 9.5 lbs. 

My main guitar is a 1990 Ibanez AS200 (Japanese). It's luscious. I have two of them, actually. This is what one of them looks like:

Its an amazing sounding guitar. 

He played it at a benefit before the opening of the Archives exhibit at the New York Historical Society with Phil in 2009....
