I think Barry has always used a Les Paul deluxe with mini humbuckers, hard to to tell in the video because of the glare.

It's a Deluxe with minis.

IMHO, I'd say those old plexi's are a major part of that "kick ass paf tone"

Those ARS guy's play great, love 'em, and they're a bit un-animated which reminds me of an old manager's montra, when one plays for people, one should try to look as though one is having fun doing it.

Another guy (whose name escapes me at the moment, dammit!) from Thin Lizzy played a lester with mini-hum's and had a very similar "great PAF tone" too in songs like Jail Break and The Boys Are Back In Town.

Scott Gorham !
Scott played a L P Deluxe and Brian Robertson a LP Standard or Custom,not shure.
I love the Live and Dangerous album and the video tape is great ,too.
They both play with heart and soul and the band has a great groove.
cheers

If you want a fantastic guitar tone w/PAFs, I don't think you can do better that Wishbone Ash. Sweet sweet tone.

[Rosewood]

Those amps are a major part I agree, as far as I know it's the same ones he has always owned. What a great tone.

That was pretty much the style of those southern rockers back in those days. Check out any Lynrd Skynrd videos and you'll see pretty much the same thing. They just stood there, looking kind of board with it all.

...

It sounds like he's picking with one of those rock picks made out of stone, or something metal, maybe its because they're minis. yeah, what a boring presentation, not very exciting to watch...

Wishbone Ash was one of my favorite bands back then, kings of the double leads, I think they're still around aren't they?

[Electricdaveyboy]

Yes Wishbone Ash,
I meet them in 2004 after a show in UK.
I wound a set pickups for the guitarist that played in wishbone ash at this time.
As far as I remember Andy did use new amps on stage and no special vintage stuff.
He asked Gib-son for a Gibbo Flying V signature guitar and they told him not to waste their time.
I heard at the moment he uses a Flying V style guitar made by a luthier based in the UK midlands with handwound pickups that come verry close to the PAF pickups in Andys old V.

Cheers
