David Gavurin

"Found this after a little digging. I'va always liked the layered sound david Gavurin produced on record, very Johnny marr like.Anyway - Dave G: Played a Gibson ES335 for most of the clean / jangle songs like "Can't be sure" and "I kicked a boy" He played a standard Tele (not the custom w/ humbuckers) for most all of the new songs from S & S. He whipped out the Tele Custom for the rockers like Another flavour, & Goodbye. Amps were two Vox AC-30's. They were old ones too... pretty beat up. Effects used were one Alesis Quadraverb in a rack. On the floor was a coloursound wah (also used by Prince). Boss Super Overdrive, Some Purple Tremolo pedal I didn't recognize, some old silver electro harmonix pedal I didn't recongnize, a blue Ibanez Sound tank pedal I didn't recognize (sorry...I couldn't see them very well). There was also an older Boss chorus pedal."

Gavurin is stated to have a 60's tobacco-sunburst Gibson ES-335 in an interview with Guitar Player Magazine (01-98). Used live on various occasions.

To prove the make and model of David Gavurin's Takamine guitar:

See this live “When I’m Thinking About You” video … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js9YdVxh8u8

He is playing a "Takamine" brand dreadnaught-size guitar with the following features:

(A) - white binding around the top and bottom of the body

(B) - straight white binding on the heel block (at the top of the cutaway where the body meets the neck)

(C) - no white binding along the length of the neck

(D) - chrome tuning pegs

(E) - old-style “brownie” electronics

(F) - modern “Takamine” logo and headstock

(G) - made before 1989 (the year of The Sundays first recording)

EF340SC - not correct because EF340SC doesn't have (A) white binding around the top and bottom of the body.

EF360 - not correct because does not have (B) the straight white line at the top of the cutaway where the body meets the neck, the “heel block”. And EF360 does not match (C), EF360 does have white binding along the length of the neck.

F360S - not correct because while it has (A) “white binding around the body", and (C) "None on the neck", it does not have (B) "straight white binding on heel block".

The correct guitar is "Takamine EF360C”. Matching all criteria (A) though (G).
