Used only briefly, the Gibson Sonex is actually a pretty decent guitar. It's a bit Les Paul in appearance and tone. I've played a few... and there are only a few out there... but they are actually nice guitars.
He used it briefly and it wasn't seen since summer 1982. Might have only been used at the Werchter Festival. Seems he got this around the time of the 1975 Les Paul Custom; which he obviously favored of the Sonex.
