Dickey Betts' Gear
In the early days of The Allman Brothers Band, Dickey Betts played a Gibson Les Paul (SG) Standard with a Sideways Vibrola, featuring banjo frets and a cherry finish. This guitar can be seen in the band's performance of "Whipping Post" at Fillmore East on September 23, 1970, as captured in the video by Allman Brothers on MV. Betts eventually passed the guitar to Duane Allman, who used it until his passing. It was then owned by Gerry Groom before being sold to Graham Nash's wife, who gifted it to Nash. The guitar is currently on loan to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
