Is Jonesy a poseur for playing a Roadworn??
The almost matte finish look of the pickguard was the first hint to me. Then I zoomed in and can see the "wear" on it. Same as other RWs I have seen. his arm is covering what would be the most obvious "wear", but you can see the other "nicks" and whatnot.
My assumption is it's not even his, but supplied as part of the gig.
As for the poseur comment, I'm only kidding.
Were you at the Humble Pie concert at the War Memorial Arena in '73? I came "home" from Harrisburg for that one. Love me some Humble Pie, and Steve Marriott was the consummate showman...
Why, yes indeed, I was at the Humble Pie concert at the War Memorial Arena in 1973. The last minute opening act replacement for Foghat was Gentle Giant much to my extremely pleasant surprise. I became an instant Gentle Giant fan and have been one ever since. Humble Pie was great too. I still have my concert ticket from that show.
Janis Joplin - left us 51 years ago today...4 OCT 1970
Legendary Swamper David Hood about to join his son's band, Drive-by Truckers, on stage at Shoalsfest in Alabama Sunday night. (I didn't take this pic, but I really wish I could have been at the festival!)

I think I've seen Gentle Giant opening for other bands 3 times.
