We can all disagree on who is the best. In music what is an accurate measure? How many notes you can cram into a 10 second solo, selling the most albums? It's like saying a Fender is better that a Gibson or a Ric. It is all a matter of taste and opinion. I have some of each and love them all for what they are great instruments.
And Danny Cedrone played On Rock Around the Clock on a mid to late ‘46 honey-brown, sunburst Gibson ES-300 (serial number 21 G4669) with one P-90 Pickup (First introduced on this guitar model) through an 18 watt, top-of-the-line Gibson BR-1 Amp with a 12" Jensen speaker.
I have a 57 Gibson ES-225TD. It is a feedback machine, but light as a feather with 2 Dogear P-90's. The production run starts with a U or maybe an S, it is in the case and I am to lazy to take it out to look in the F hole, but I know it is a 57 the first year they made the 225's with dual pups.
That is off the subject a bit, I do love the Beatles and Rush as well, and Zep and Floyd and Rick Derringer and Yes and way to many to mention.
