ya know ade and rice he bought a 12 string epiphone acoustic guitaron ebay.co.uk and they kind rare the 12 string epiphone's and i think thats was a bargain when he was tellin me how much he bought it for

[Guitar Monkey]

it would be good if any 1 could find a bargain on a lowden guitar on ebay.co.uk

[Collie]

He uses a LOWDEN.


They have a whiskey barrel effect guitar which mite explain the state of Damos guitar or maybe it's just him

[Guitar Monkey]

wiskey barrel effect i just thought it sonded like that cause in mainly all of his songs he uses a capo which gives the strings a twaggy and sharp...........whiskey barrel effect has got me thinking now though is it the guitar or the tool u use ???

Rice owns and plays only one acoustic, a late-Seventies Irish-made Lowden, which he speaks of in glowing terms. "I just stumbled upon it one day," he says. When I play live and break a string, I just sit there and talk to the audience while fixing it. People ask, 'Why don't you go get yourself a spare guitar?' The answer," explains Rice, "is that I kind of have a love affair with this one."

The "whiskey barrel guitars" were guitarswhere thetone woods were material from old whiskey barrels. Mainly because of the appearance and finish.

[Guitar Monkey]

what was special about the wiskey barrel effect........did it ahave acompletely different sound or was it just the finish

[Magnus]

From what I know it was mainly used forfinish purposes (and perhaps as a gimmick)

[Guitar Monkey]

when ya look at the pics of damo on this website in different other pics i have seen at least 2 or 3 different guitars that he is playin

[Magnus]

Yes, you are right about that. I guess some of them might be of Damien playng guitars that he had borrowed. Damien's main acoustic guitar ishis Lowden. His main electric is a Fender Telecaster.

[Guitar Monkey]

what songs does he use his telecaster for ?

[Guitar Monkey]

because i have neva really sore damo use his telecaster i have only seen him use his Lowden even in i haven't seen the telecaster

Here are somepictures of Damien playing a Telecaster. I believe he uses it for a couple of the "new" more electric songs. I cannot remember which ones right now... He used it the last time I saw him play live just about one month ago..

[Guitar Monkey]

oh sh*t yeah i neva bloody sore those when i was skipping through the sites photo base thanks anyways magnus could ya tell us what songs he uses them for ? cheers

[Guitar Monkey]

i have allways ever really seen damo use his acoustic guitar so really the telecaster is a new bag for me lol

[Magnus]

Oh. I cannot remember which songs it was. Lisa plays the Telecaster on The Blower's Daughter. I think Damien might used the Telecaster for Tongue...

[Guitar Monkey]
