Happy Holidays Everyone!
Just read a great review on jambase about Uncle Warrens X-Mas Jam. I noticed some great pictures and saw that Derek has some new hardware...

Scroll down to the bottom to see his new axe, not is red SG.
Is this a vintage Les Paul?
Please advise

Yea I've seen a picture with Derek and the Les Paul too. Never seen him without an SG. Not sure what the story behind it is.

Definatly NOT a Les Paul, just loog at the headstock. I think it kinda looks like a vintage Danelectro (Jimmy Page played one Stairway). I could be wrong though. It may be a vintage Epiphone from back before Gibson bought them out but I doubt that.
A better pic of the headstock would be great so you could see the name.

I was kinda thinkin pre-Gibson Epi as well. Thought I saw an E on the headstock but maybe not.

Supro, National, Airline, etc. 1950s-60s made in the US with some models reproduced today by Eastwood.
That's a single coil in the humbucker looking case.

Since there looks to be a big E on the headstock I'd say most likely an Eastwood. Thanks
