Members Etienne Rambert Posted May 24, 2018 Members Share Posted May 24, 2018 Kim Jong Un's brother loves his American-made guitar & is an Eric Clapton fan -- BIGLY So is it FENDER OR GIBSON? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted May 24, 2018 Members Share Posted May 24, 2018 It says he paid 2400 GBP (about US$3200) for the guitar. Given that he's a Clapton fan I'd agree and guess a vintage Strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted May 25, 2018 Members Share Posted May 25, 2018 What he paid for it would have likely fed thousands for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emory Posted May 25, 2018 Members Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'd say depends a bit on which phase Eric was going through. That 335 sound for Wheels of Fire for instance. Then there are also those Martins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe it's a CS model... $3,200 usually doesn't get you a "real" vintage Strat these days... just something from the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted May 25, 2018 Members Share Posted May 25, 2018 If it was a Gibson and anything but a production model it would have been > $5K no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members badpenguin Posted May 25, 2018 Members Share Posted May 25, 2018 Ok Phil, you are showing your age here. I feel the same way, but the 70's were 40 plus years ago. To a LOT of players, they were not even alive then! So anything from the "dark ages" are vintage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Yeah, I'm definitely showing my age. I see where you're coming from, but IMHO there's a difference between 'vintage' and 'old.' YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted May 26, 2018 Members Share Posted May 26, 2018 I'm guessing he's more of a Stray Cat. so likely a Gibson ES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted May 27, 2018 Members Share Posted May 27, 2018 Okay, maybe a little loose in my terminology but I was in college in the early 70's and that qualifies as "vintage" to me. Kim Jong-chul was born in '81 so a guitar that's ≈ 10 years older than he is would be "vintage." Heck, I'm from the early 50's myself, which either makes me old or "vintage." I prefer "vintage."
