Guitars on Essence

For all the guitar players out there…does anyone know the type of guitar that is used in the beginning of Are You Down? I really love the tone. I suspect it is a Strat, but was wondering what others thought. Thanks.

Just a wild guess here as I’m not really a guitar player, just a fan… from the liner notes on “Are You Down”

But Bo has an extensive collection as per the following quote from the December, 2009 issue of Premier Guitar Magazine.

No, I don’t really collect. I try and keep things moving, you know. There are certain pieces that I have no intention of selling. I have like 20, somewhere around there. I have two Strats, the 1980s ’62 reissue and a ’69. I have a 1980s ’62 reissue Telecaster and a 1962 Gibson ES-335, which is a really great guitar that I’ll probably hand down to my kids. I have a late-’40s Gibson J-45 that I’m very attached to, and an early-’50s Gibson LG2. I also have a Jerry Jones 12-string electric guitar, and I have a Taylor 12-string acoustic guitar that was given to me. That’s a great guitar. I have three or four Silvertones—a couple of them are really outstanding guitars, probably my best slide guitars. I have a ’58 Silvertone with one pickup, and it’s probably the best slide guitar that I own, and one that’s from the early 1960s with the pickup near the neck—that’s another outstanding slide guitar. I have a ’60s Supro Dualtone that’s a real great guitar, a real beast. It’s got two Seymour Duncan Seth Lover humbuckers in it. Those are kind of my main tools. I do have a Reverend Flatroc that I got that’s just a good solid tool, a good solid guitar. I’ve been taking that out quite a bit. It’s a great slide guitar; it stays in tune real well. I have an early-1990s first generation National Reso-Electric that I use in the studio,
