Gilby Clarke's Steel-string Acoustic Guitars
"Clarke scored this ’91 Gibson Les Paul Junior after scoring the gig with Guns ’N Roses. “I owned only four guitars at the time, and one was my J-45,” he said. “I played this a lot on the GnR tour; it has that classic P-90 sound.”"
"That came a couple years later. Like with the electrics, once I had an acoustic Zemaitis, I was hooked. Before, my acoustics had always been Martins; I have a ’69 D-35 and a ’46 D-28. But, when I got the heart-hole… there’s just something Tony knew about making guitars."

In this video from Gibson, Gilby Clarke plays a J-200.
This 12-string acoustic guitar was sold on Gilby Clarke’s official Reverb.com shop. The listing’s description stated; “ This Martin D12-20 is owned by Gilby Clarke. There is some minor wear including light scratches, scuffs and dings throughout, but overall this guitar is in very nice cosmetic condition. It appears that the pick guard was possibly re-glued/replaced at some point, as some of the unfinished wood can be seen around the edges. The tuner hardware has some nice tarnishing. The guitar plays very nicely and has a comfortably low action. The 14th-18th frets are lifting slightly at the bass end—luckily this does not impede playability. Overall, this is a beautiful sounding guitar that could simply benefit from a fret polish and some new strings. Hardshell case included (one broken latch). All items in The Official Gilby Clarke Reverb Shop ship fully insured with delivery confirmation and a signed and embossed Certificate Of Authenticity.”
