Robby Krieger

Per The Doors Guide website - a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s — THE DOORS":

"According to an Elektra memo, Robby Krieger purchased a red 1967 Gibson SG Special in November 1967. It was likely acquired for use in the studio as session photos from early '68 show him with this guitar. He also played it during at least one set at the Fillmore East in March 1968."

Per The Doors Guide website - a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s — THE DOORS":

"Robby Krieger plays a red 1964 Gibson SG Special with P-90 pickups on the first two Doors albums and for a bulk of the group's live shows from 1966-1970 (later with an added tremolo bar). Sadly, this legendary guitar was stolen and remains missing. I have the guitar's original serial number so anyone who believes they've found it can contact me for confirmation. Note: Robby sometimes incorrectly refers to this as a '64 Gibson Melody Maker."

According to TheDoorsGuide.com, a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s, "Robby Krieger started playing a red 1968 Gibson SG Standard in March 1968 and used it throughout the '68 summer tour."

This is verified by Gibson from this article.

According to TheDoorsGuide.com, a website that aims to be the ultimate resource for one of the most innovative bands to come out of the west coast music scene in the late 1960s, "Robby Krieger acquired a 1954 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty in mid-1968 for bottleneck playing. Gibson's replica of this guitar is missing the gold Bigsby tailpiece and has a Seymour Duncan mini-humbucker in the neck in place of the stock Alnico V pickup (modifications Robby made in later years). This is the guitar Robby used in the studio to record "Wild Child." He can also be seen playing it at the Hollywood Bowl, in the group's Critique television appearance, and during the Post-Morrison Doors tours."

This is verified by Gibson from this article.

This is perhaps the most collectable guitar in Robby’s collection. He bought it just couple of years back persuaded by his friend Al Jackson.

The guitar is rarely played live.

On a Robby Krieger interview, there's a picture of him playing on a Gibson ES-335 TDSV on stage, a picture by Linda Kyriazi.

In this article from PremierGuitar, Robby tells Bob Cianci "My current rig is two Fender Hot Rod DeVilles, with either 2x12 or 4x10 speaker cabs."

At about 1:35 during this video for Reverb, Krieger discusses his studio rig for recording with The Doors: "Recording wise, it was the SG and a Twin Reverb. That was pretty much it." The recording dates for the first two Doors albums indicate this would have been a Blackface model (the Silverface variant was not manufactured until 1968, at which point "The Doors" and "Strange Days" had already been recorded and released).

In an interview published on MusicRadar (http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/interview-robby-krieger-on-the-doors-la-woman-jim-morrison-and-skrillex-527068), Robby says: "...I had a Maestro Fuzztone, which I used..."

In an Interview w/ Premier Guitar, Robby Krieger discusses his Boss ME-10 multi-effect unit:

"I use a Boss ME-10 multi-effect unit, which they don’t make anymore, and I use the gain channel on the amps too. That’s my basic rig. Very simple."
