John used 3 guitars in the CCR days. A Gibson Les Paul Custom with a 3/4 neck, modified after the original neck was broken by an airline by master luthier Hideo Kamimoto. Kamimoto installed a Bigsby whammy bar on this guitar. Prior to this Les Paul, John used a Rickenbacker 325 with a 3/4 neck, also modified by Kamimoto. Another Les Paul Custom for the ‘D’ tuned songs and also tweaked by Kamimoto was ever present too.
