Glen Campbell's Gear
Sources conflict over whether the baritone guitar sound heard on Campbell hits “Wichita Lineman” and “Galveston” (1968 and 1969, respectively) is a Bass VI, but Campbell did use a Bass VI in at least one televised performance of the former.

In a video by SFW Studios titled "Glen Campbell - Best Guitar Solos 1960 to 2000s," Glen Campbell can be seen playing the distinctive Teisco T-60 guitar. This solid-body electric guitar, popular in Campbell's performances during the early 1960s, was known for delivering vibrant rockabilly and country sounds.

The Gretsch Monkees model guitar is a rare relic of one of the more off-the-wall of 1960's Gretsch endeavors-an endorsement deal to provide instruments for the Monkees TV show. The "Monkees Rock"N"Roll Model" was specifically designed to be a relatively affordable but flashy guitar to hopefully appeal to the group's giant teenage audience. Having seen a massive spike in demand for the company's guitars after Beatle George Harrison appeared with one in 1964, Gretsch likely saw the Monkees TV exposure as another marketing coup. Although it didn't quite work out that way, the Gretsch-Monkees link did create this fairly unique instrument and lead to a lasting association between the company and the group. The actual Monkees Model appeared in only 4 episodes, part of the last batch filmed in the autumn of 1967. The Monkees model never appeared in Gretsch literature, but a limited number were produced from late 1966 through the summer of 1967. There were less than 150 made. Rick played guitar on There's No Me... Without You, on the Ghost on a Canvas album. I assume Rick brought the Gretsch 6123 and Glen was able to use it while they did the Ghost on a Canvas video.

Glen used this guitar during the soundcheck and possibly during the CMA Music Festival in 2004. He played Galveston, By The Time I Get to Phoenix and Rhinestone Cowboy.

Glen Campbell can be confirmed to have used the G&L Fullerton Deluxe Comanche guitar during his last performance at the Uptown Theater in Napa, CA on November 30, 2012. This is evidenced by a video available on YouTube, where the guitar is clearly identifiable by its unique Z-coil pickups, a feature specific to the G&L Comanche. Additionally, his profile picture on the Equipboard website also depicts him with the same guitar, further confirming its use. This information is supported by the YouTube video titled "Glen Campbell Final Live Song Before 2017 Death - Gentle On My Mind," provided by Cal Vid.
