George Thorogood's Gear
George says he has played through many amps, but often times he plays though a Fender Dual Showman.
I found that Thorogood uses a Gibson ES-125 through the interview in the link. However, whenever I looked up "Gibson ES-125", majority of the results weren't what I'm used to seeing him play. I found a photo of a variant, which contained a single cutaway and 2 dogear P90's. This confirmed that it was a TDC variant of the ES-125.
he use it in many ocasions in his career live and in the studio. at minute 2:01 you can see a shot of the pedal on the ground.
In the video you can see George talking about his Epiphone ES-125 that he created with the company.
George Thorogood is quoted to have first started as an acoustic player, and moved to a semi acoustic, Gibson ES-125, because he liked the arched top, and similar feel of his original acoustic guitar he first learned on.
