Brian Jones

Brian had a deal with Vox to promote the new Phantom Mark. The prototype of the Mark III, which Brian has here, was shaped differently than the later marketed version. There was also a Mark VI (6-string) and a Mark XII (12-string).

In this photo, one can see Jones playing a Gibson Firebird VII.

Brian with Harmony Stratotone (Jupiter model?). Brian played this at the Marquee. Stratotones were very popular in England at the time. Harmony made good, but inexpensive, guitars. Keith had a Harmony Meteor.

This is a picture of Brian Jones playing a 1966 Fender Telecaster on the famous Jumpin' Jack Flash promo video from 1968. The guitar belonged to Keith Richards, whom acquired it in 1966, and Brian used it on occasion.

In a photo from the last tour, Brian Jones is seen playing a Gibson ES-330, described as "a magnificent jazz guitar." This guitar was also used by Keith Richards during the free Hyde Park concert. The image is user-uploaded on Angelfire.

Brian Jones is pictured with an Epiphone Casino, likely Keith Richards' guitar, which he played during "Little Red Rooster" on The Ed Sullivan Show. The Casino model is notably popular due to John Lennon's use. The photograph is user-uploaded on Angelfire.

Brian playing Sympathy for the Devil on an acoustic Gibson J-200 6-string during filming of One Plus One, June '68. This model is associated with guitar heroes of yesteryear - Hollywood's singing cowboys.

Featured in this late 1966 Vox ad.

Quietly-spoken Brian praises VOX equipment; the Stones use all VOX amplification. Brian features a VOX Mk. Xll 12-string Guitar as well as the Mando Guitar and the VOX 2-Manual Continental Organ. Together with the VOX research team, Brian created the VOX Bijou Guitar, responsible for that sitar sound of the Stones' latest recording. He says, adamantly: "Sound is all-important to me. And so is progress. VOX gives me 100 per cent progressive sound."

Brian Jones used the first generation of the non reverse, which can be seen in the show of Ed Sulivan show and in some other presentations between 1966 - 1967
