Jackson Browne

Browne uses his Roy Smeck Stage De Luxe frequently, and it was the inspiration for the creation of his signature Gibson acoustic:

“As a performer, I’ve learned over the last 20 years what I like, and what works for my music. To use the iconic Roy Smeck model as a starting point—as well as Gibson’s 1994 reissue—and build something that helps me bring my songs to life is really exciting.”

Based on the classic 1930s Jumbo body style, with elements of the rare and legendary Roy Smeck model at Browne's request—a guitar known for its powerful sound and rich tonal quality—the Jackson Browne Model has an increased body depth for enhanced resonance and projection, upgraded tonewoods throughout, including an eco-friendly English Walnut back and sides, and a 12th fret neck/body joint to optimize it to fingerstyle performance. The Model A version of the Jackson Browne Signature Model also carries a hand-made internal audiophile-grade Trance Audio Amulet Pickup System of an entirely innovative and original design, which enables it to take all of its acoustic splendor flawlessly to the biggest stages in the world, while the Model 1 comes without pickup. All this, and it looks superb in a custom Vintage Sunburst finish in hand-sprayed nitrocellulose lacquer, with elegant appointments to complement its exclusive design.

Browne's D-28 is indicated by the tortoise-shell pickguard in the attached video, and is likely a 60s model.

Browne's 00-17 is evident by its all-mahogany construction played in this video.

Browne can be seen playing a Fender Stratocaster throughout this 1992 concert.
