Junior Kimbrough's Gear
In june of 2000, Wes Freeman, for the Perfect Sound Forever online magazine, wrotes about how Junior Kimbrough got this guitar:
Night has already fallen on October 28, 1990, when 60-year-old David "Junior" Kimbrough sits down to play guitar for the regulars at his juke joint in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Behind him is his drummer Calvin Jackson. To his right is Little Joe Ayers, his electric bass player. He looks at the crowd and then past them. His mouth is open and he looks lost, even though he owns the place in every sense of the word. Within a few months he will have a stroke. In a year he will record his first album. In time, his son and musical heir, David Kimbrough, will be imprisoned. He will be awarded a $5000 Gibson Les Paul guitar, his most prized possession. In seven years, he will die of heart failure. But right now, Junior knows none of this; he's just getting ready to play guitar.
There is a lot of footage where he uses this guitar and on the cover of one of his last albums.
Junior Kimbrough can be seen using the Univox Effector in his early years, particularly during the sessions for his first recordings LP, as shown in the user-uploaded photo.
Junior Kimbrough is seen using a 1960's Fender Super Reverb Combo Amp, with earlier parts of his career featuring Peavey amplifiers.
Junior used this for many years, it from the cover of his first album.
