Warren Haynes' Guitars
At 10:08 in the video, Brian Farmer, Warren Haynes' guitar tech, points says "Of course we have the twelve string... This is one of two Les Paul twelve strings, um there's only two of these in the world."
At 6:26, Brian Farmer, Warren Haynes' guitar tech says "Chester's the one we use the most, it is a Warren Haynes model. You'll notice, I put a Chet Atkins truss rod cover on it. Thats why we call it Chester."
At 8:20 in the video, Brian Farmer, Warren Haynes' guitar tech says "Thats the wandering child guitar, it's a 58' Les Paul, thats actually the most beautiful Les Paul I think he owns. Now it's got a beautiful top on it, and it's 11's to 58's as well."
Around 7:00 in the vide, Brian Farmer points out Warren's three Gibson Firebirds.
According to this article from Gibson "Solo artist, leader of Gov’t Mule, guitar wizard for the Allman Brothers Band, Phil Lesh and Friends and the Dead, Haynes is the MVP of modern rock. And while Haynes is best known for the burly tone of his Gibson Les Paul Standards, including the Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard built by the Gibson Custom Shop, he’s also a Firebird man." Just below the quote it mentions the 1964 specifically.
At 7:35 in the video, Brian Farmer, Warren Haynes' guitar tech says when showing Warren's SG "This is about the only SG we use all the time, this one's in an open C tuning. Thats why I call it the 'crazy tuning' if you can see that... And it's a Gordie Johnson model."
At 9:35 in the video, Brian Farmer, Warren Haynes' guitar tech says "We have this blonde guitar, Blondie, this is the main guitar we use on the road, and its just a gorgeous back, a gorgeous top, Burstbucker pickups...it's a 59' reissue."
In the video "Bad Man Walking" by Gov't Mule, Warren Haynes plays a 2002 Gibson Custom Shop Non-Reversed Firebird in natural finish and phthalo blue.
At 8:45 in this video, Brian Farmer says "His oldest Les Paul that we have on the road, is a drop D, standard Drop D guitar. But it's a beautiful one as well. He has pre-amp switches on all of those and this is a Nickel Rocker set."
At 9:06 in the video, Brian Farmer, Warren Haynes' guitar tech, says "His main guitar for recording is a 1961 335."
The guitar was mentioned in 2019 Guitar World interview.
I’ve got a ’59 Les Paul, a ’61 dot-neck ES-335 and a mid-Sixties ES-355 that was given to me by Gregg Allman that are particular favorites. I leave them all at home; I’ll use them in the studio, but I don’t really trust fate as far as taking old guitars on tour. My signature guitars are my favorites from a playability standpoint, but when I switch to my ’59 Les Paul, there’s something magical there that you just can’t replicate.
