Guitars used by John Fogerty on Green River (Remastered 1985)
Gibson Les Paul Custom w/ Bigsby B5 Electric Guitar
In, his interview with Vintage Guitar Magazine, John stated that his first Les Paul Custom was damaged by the airlines while touring with Creedence Clearwater Revival, as the neck broke in March of 1969. He took it to Oakland luthier Hideo Kamamoto, and had the neck converted to 3/4 scale and added a Bigsby B5, during the recording sessions for the “Green River” album in early April 1969, he then bought a second Les Paul Custom to leave stock for D-Standard tuning. Fogerty immediately stopped using his Rickenbacker 325 in the studio for standard tuning following the release of the Green River, replaced the Rickenbacker with his newly Modified 3/4 scale Gibson Les Paul Custom with the Bigsby B5 vibrato bar, for E Standard tuning. From Willy & The Poor Boys and onwards he recorded exclusively with his two Les Paul Customs, as he grew extremely frustrated with Rickenbacker’s poor tuning stability with the Bigsby.

I bought a J-200 right around the early Creedence days, and that’s on “Green River” and some of the other ones where I’m strumming an acoustic. (...) I’m not a big fan of J-200s. They’re not mellow. I love Taylors. The strummy guitar on “Déjà Vu” is a Taylor.
According to an interview with Russ Gary, sound engineer of the studio where CCR recorded "Green River" in, he double-tracked this guitar.
