Joe was seen playing this guitar in a couple of photos, all of which seem to date back to 1970 when he was playing with James Gang.

Based on the photos, the guitar was a Gibson SG Junior with dot inlays, and a stop-tail bridge. But, aside from this, nothing is really known about this guitar. If you happen to know anything about, its original story or where it ended up, be sure to post a comment below.

From Wadsworth, Ohio, my boyfriend was a student at Kent State same time as Joe, and he too played in some local bands. I know that he sold a guitar to Joe for $300 so he would have enough money for the next quarter of school. It’s very possible that this is the guitar.
