HOW KEVIN GORDON'S '56 GIBSON ES-125 CHANGED HIS S.

Eight of the twelve tracks recorded for the new release, 'Gloryland,' are songs written on the 125 itвЂ™s also one of the main guitars used on the record.' Though I originally bought the guitar as a way in to playing solo, itвЂ™s greatly influenced my songwriting-since circa 2001 most of my songs have been written using it. Tremolo, a little delay from an old Boss DM-3 pedal, and thatвЂ™s it. For the solo gig I use a blackface Princeton (the one with white knobs-вЂ™63?) and, if itвЂ™s appropriate for the room, a second amp: an old Epiphone Pathfinder or a late 40s Gibson BR-9 thatвЂ™s been modified to accept a non-fieldcoil speaker. I love the wideness of the sound when I mask the 3rd of the chord-playing all 1s and 5s. To make it adaptable to more of my songs, I put it in open-D tuning, using a capo and gradually finding other chord shapes/voicings that took advantage of open strings. And I wanted a sound that reflected where my songs were coming from-a lot of the songwriters/performers who influenced me played electric guitars: Chuck Berry, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Muddy Waters, Elmore James. kind of sound-which I was hearing a lot of in Nashville at that time, and which always sounded thin to me, no matter how good the guitar or the sound engineer. When I got back, Pat agreed to sell me the guitar, for what now seems like a bargain: $350.Д«ut IвЂ™d been trying to figure out a way to play solo gigs, beyond the usual acoustic-through-the-P.A. I loved the chunky low end and the responsiveness of the P-90. The heads on the original tuning keys were brittle and weak as chalk. It showed its age: the binding yellowed, the finish on the back of the neck worn away in places, pick-guard gone, battle scars here and there. I borrowed it for a weekendвЂ™s gigs, not knowing exactly how IвЂ™d use it-I was just attracted to it. I picked it up and played it it immediately felt right, natural. 'Not long after moving to Nashville, I found my 1956 Gibson ES-125 in my friend Pat GallagherвЂ™s apartment, propped in a corner, without a case, gathering dust. Kevin Gordon вЂ“ the rock and roller with the masters degree in poetry whose songs have been covered by Levon Helm and Keith Richards вЂ“ let his songwriting and recording evolve through his use of a '56 Gibson ES-125, culminating in the stunning new album 'Gloryland' (February 14 / Crowville Media).
