Re: Glen Campbell's Gibson ES-335

I'm thinking that the bottom three are all the same guitar; a blond, 1980ish Gibson ES-335 with an aftermarket open-coil pickup in the bridge position. He still had this at the time of the Country Cribs episode.

Re: Glen's special Guitar Tuning?

I don't remember ever reading or hearing him say anything about ever using sweetened tunings.

IMHO, that would be a pretty persnickity thing for someone as laid back as Glen, to do. He would just grab what ever was at hand and let er rip.

Re: Glen Campbell's Mosrite Celebrity I

Wow, what a find, Mike.

It is hard to say about the initials but I am doubtful that they would have been added after the fact. Glen is shown playing a green Celebrity many years later so he must have had two.

We would love to see a few pics of this gem that has been hidden away for 51 years!

Re: Glen Campbells Custom Red Rhodes Telecaster w/ Ovation Neck

If you want to hear what this guitar sounds like, check out this great video from a 1977 guest appearance from Glen on the Carol Burnett Show. Glen plays this guitar as well as a number of other instruments from his collection.

It is amazing what all you found involving this guitar, once you got looking.

Re: Glen Campbell's 1989 Custom Hamer Chaparral

Nice one.

This would be around the same time frame that the blue Hamer GC 12-string was built also.

Re: Ovation Prototype X008 Glen Campbell Thunderhead

I am re-posting a link to the video of Glen playing X008 on the Goodtime Hour with Ray Charles and Anne Murray. It seems it was deleted from the link above.

Re: Glen Campbell's Ovation 1624 (Proto X014)

I have seen him use that one, or at least one identical to it, into the early 80's.
