It looks like a real thin acoustic/electric.

Well,the first part of the tune is a bit derivative,but nobody bats a thousand.I do like that thin body acoustic-electric Bo's playing.Sounds very natural,with just the right amount of compression,and that Tele player is as elegant as they come.I'll have to look him up.
EDIT- his name is Chris Reeves.My search engine only gave me the "Superman" Christopher Reeve and someone who makes knives,but Bo Porter's website has some info about him.

Looks like one of Composite Acoustics' thin-bodied acoustic-electrics - http://www.compositeacoustics.com/index.cfm/guitars
I agree, the Tele player is good. I also agree, Bill - when I heard that intro, I just said, "damn, Willin'". It's not just the chord progression, but the melody notes and phrasing. But there may be enough differentiation in the rest of the song, especially the chorus, to keep the lawyers away. |
