he played the epiphone before he played the gibson. if you watch the dirty old town dvd he is using the epiphone. I believe he picked up the 335 a few years ago.
it's actually 99% broken now, along with his Orange amp. they both f--- up at his live shows every so often. The show before the last one I saw (which was in new york) his amp completely died halfway through a song. lmao. Yeah, he started with an epi sheraton but you know how being rich and relatively unfamous can be--BUY MORE GUITARS! I kinda miss it though, cause I play an epi sheraton II as well.
