Robert Lockwood Jr.'s Gear
Although in recent years he favored a custom-built Japanese electric 12-string, according to Watson, “There’s a picture of him in the old days playing an ES-295 with an ES-175 tailpiece and a wooden bridge, through a Gibsonette amp with [an 8″ and a 12″ speaker]. I think that’s what he used on a lot of those sessions.”

"Robert Lockwood Jr used Gretsch guitars (as well as a Guild Starfire XII electric 12-string)...
OK, here's my rant. YOu can use any guitar to play the blues, or to play jazz, or country, or whatever. It's the notes and the way the player expresses them, not the guitar. I'm not saying that a Bakersfield Tele sound is going to work for what a lot of people consider mainstream jazz, but you can warm up a Tele a lot. So it's not the instrument/amp that makes it blues."
