Members nuke_diver Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 Went to the Rush concert last night with a couple of friends. I was a bit worried since they had played the night before and it was colder than usual here in Calif (all things relative of course ). The boys did not disappoint putting on a great show and were in fine form and voice. They sure do seem to enjoy playing On one song (who's name I wont say because it would be a spoiler and besides I kind of forgot which one ) Alex played a Gibson with a single cut away and a single f-hole (or so it seemed, sorry no picture). I don't recall seeing it last time through and I thought it was an ES-137 but the pictures on MF show it with 2 f-holes. Was I just missing the other f-hole . I was pretty close and stone cold sober so I don't have another excuse. It was a gorgous guitar (tobacco burst I believe) though the white ES-335 is still the one who's tone I like the best. For those who have yet to see them you are in for a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members _pete_ Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 It's a 1981 (I think) Howard Roberts Fusion. He originally used that guitar on the Moving Pictures and Exit Stage Left tours. It once had a Kahler installed on it but that was removed and replaced with a normal bridge & tailpice. For this tour a Fishman piezo bridge was installed. It's a great sounding guitar and always been one of my favorites of his. It does have 2 f-holes BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RedTele Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yes, _pete_ is correct. It's a Howard Robert's Fusion. The very same one from the Moving Pictures tour I believe. One of Lerxt's other iconic axes in his arsenal. The white 355, though rules all! I was fortunate enough to see them this past April in Jacksonville. What a show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tim gueguen Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 It could be argued the ES137 is pretty much a stripped down version of the Fusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
