Post Pale blue eyes, gitarrer?
Sterling Morrison och Lou Reed använde bl a olika Gibson ES-modeller under inspelningen av The Velvet Underground, men vilka gitarrer spelar de på Pale Blue Eyes, kan någon höra det?

Älskar VU, men min gitarrkunskap sträcker sig till att jag hör att det är elgitarrer :lol:

Sources/Links:
An anonymous contributor offered the following information:
"The amp that Sterling Morrison used during the Velvet era was a Silvertone 1484. I don't even think that Silvertone made an amp named 2143. I've got a Silvertone 1484 myself, so I'm pretty sure."
