History 

“I passed this guitar shop and it was fantastic. Upstairs it had lots of guitars and there was a glass case with a few select guitars in it and it had a guitar I’d never seen in real life, a Gibson ES-150D. When you look at it straight on, it looks like a 335. It’s walnut, it’s got block mother-of-pearl markers and a master volume on the lower horn. When you look at it from the side, it’s the depth of a 175. So it’s like a 175 but in the shape of a 335.

“Next thing I did was phone my guitar tech and said, ‘If I buy a semi-acoustic, have we got room in the big flight case?’ He said, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah…’ So I bought it. I took it to the soundcheck and Robert Fripp was very enamoured of it."
