Guitars used by Jake Kiszka on The Battle at Garden’s Gate

Solid Body Electric Guitars

1962 Gibson Les Paul SG Standard

Jake can be seen playing this EBONY 1962 Les Paul Standard in the live candlelight sessions from the 'Battle At Garden's Gate' album cycle era, as well as other photos taken from around that time. In the included photo, the 'Les Paul' inscription on the truss rod cover can be seen. Though, in the candlelight sessions, the truss rod cover appears blank. The small block inlay is puzzling as well, for the small block inlay did not really appear on standards until the 70's. There exists a Chicago Music Exchange exlusive Gibson SG standard with the small block inlay and a turtoise shell pickguard, similar to Jake's. However, the CME exlusive has no sideways vibrola or 'Les Paul' truss rod cover. There is another guitar entry here on Equipboard for Jake that lists this guitar as an SG. My entry lists it as a Les Paul, which I believe is more-accurate, hence the Les Paul truss rod cover. Until Jake does another rig rundown, I suppose this ebony Les Paul/SG with small block inlay will remain an enigma.

Lastly, a very cool article by Vintage Guitar magazine which depicts '62 Les Pauls in custom colors including Ebony and Polaris White:
