Jeff Buckley

Post by chucksimms »

If you get a chance, check out the live DVD of Jeff Buckley in Chicago. Jeff plays a fireglo 360/12 (slide!) for several songs in a brilliant performance. For my money he was the greatest talent of the last 20 years- what a voice!

Jeff was a brilliant songwriter and a unique guitarist with an AMAZING voice - four or five octave range, I believe! So tragic, what happened to him.

He used his 360/12FG most notably on "Last Goodbye". His main guitar was an off-white Fender Telecaster, which he used alongside the Rick, a Fender Jaguar, and a Les Paul Custom, Black.

I just noticed that on the "Artists" list of this site, he's listed as using a 330FG. It's definitley a 360. Peter?

A great talent indeed and a sad loss.

Here's a couple of shots from the DVD...does indeed look like a 360/12:
