Now if he's just put down those Gibsons and get a Telecaster!.............

Don't be silly.  Hollow body guitars is where it's at (do the cool kids still use that phrase?).

Yes, do you?

He uses a Gibson Byrdland. Single cut away, hollow body, dual PAFs, short scale, 12" compound radius and pinned bridge sometimes stuffed with rags. The guitar is not named after the club, but is named after the two jazz players who worked with Gibson and Ted Mcarty to design the guitar, Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. The Byrdland is a top of the line Gibson jazz box that is still in production. Current street price is just under $9,000.00.

I think Ted also had 6 Fender Super Twin Reverbs, and unlike some, may have actually had them all cranked to 10 at the same time… Ted may be one of the only humans to get crunch out of a Twin Reverb and live to tell about it (well at least sort of…)

On the JCM800, from talking to a friend of mine, most of the JCM tones we think of were modded by people who knew what they were doing; unfortunately, a lot of mods just made it a hissy monster. Then again, I haven't heard a stock and modded one in person so this is 2nd hand info.
