Didn\'t know he used Yamaha Guitars. But have to say they are good. Used to have an SG1000 Years ago but had to sell it.

Anyway will soon be taking delivery of a brand new SG3000 From the Japanese Custom shop....Every bit as much of a tone monster as a Les Paul....Better some would say...Theres cause for an argument!!!! Lol

If your talking about his acoustic, I know I promised more info long ago. Well I\'m holding it in my lap right now. It\'s a Yamaha Compass . Looking in the sound hole the sticker says CPX-15. We use this guitar a lot for recording. Here\'s a pic of B holding it:

Yeah, thanks Travis, I was referring ot that one and then the one he used at some GNR shows. If you find a clip of him playing the solo to Nightrain, I believe he is using it. It\'s solid black, not very flashy, but looked kinda cool.

Thanks again.

Hey Travis - do those chickens hanging around creep you out dude? For the record, that\'s the most flesh I\'ve ever seen of Buckethead (hand into wrist and around the eyes). You know I can\'t help to wonder wonder wonder! Come to speak of it, are there any pictures of you anywhere for us to see?

I thought he had one of those Chet Atkins signature Yamaha classical/electric guitars? :-/ I thought that\'s what he played on Big Sur Moon?*runs to check database*

Chet Atkins guitars are made by Gibson and recently Epiphone. He\'s probably used those too. He\'s sporadic from what I can see.
