What guitars does John play on Blue Moon Swamp?
A Blue Moon Swamp crackles with classic Fender guitars and amps. “I became a Leo Fender fan in my 40s,” says Fogerty. “It took me that long to appreciate his genius. The ’62 Custom Telecaster is absolutely my favorite guitar on earth right now.” Fogerty also played three different Strats — a ’62, a ’63, and a ’67 — plus a ’56 Gretsch and a reissue ’54 Gibson Les Paul goldtop. His main amps were a ’58 tweed [Fender] deluxe and a ’59 Bassman. “That tweed is absolutely perfect,” Fogerty enthuses. “It saturates just right, without getting too fuzztoney. It just gives you that awesome rock and roll sound.
