Duane started with a fender Stratocastor and then got a 1957 goldtop les paul. it was with this Gibson les paul that he also switched to Marshall amps. He then obtained a 1958 tobacco burst Les paul & a 1959 Cherry sunburst les paul. he still liked the sound in the gold top pick-ups best, but the feel of the later year Gibsons. So he switched out the pick-ups of the 1957 gold top & put them in the tobacco burst gibson.
Today those 3 gibsons could fetch over a million dollars w/o the celebrety that Mr Allman would also bring them. I hope Gregg has them put away in a safe place.
i would love to ask him about his legendary brother & those Guitars.

Was one of the Allman Brothers early band names the Allman Joys?
True. One of the Allman Brothers early band names was the Allman Joys. A friend of mine, Bob Keller played bass guitar in The Allman Joys. Maynard Portwood was the drummer. And of course, this was Duane and Greg's early band. Greg and Duane also had a band named Hour Glass. Later, Ralph Bollinger and Tommy Amato replaced Bob Keller and Maynard Portwood. Allman Joys released an album "Allman Joys Early Allman"I believe that it was recorded in 1966, but not released until 1973. Pictures of The Allman Joys can be found on the internet.
When was Gregg Allman born?
Stacey Fountain Louise She is from ny he sees a lot of groupies Lauren,dr.dot,Bonnie But than I also heard he is back with Britt. I would think Britt they share the heir.
Is Duane Allman tall?
I'm not sure how tall he was, but if you look at the inner photos of the Derek & The Dominos Layla album, you'll see a photo of Duane standing next to Eric Clapton, who is about 5'10", and Duane appears 2-3 inches taller than Eric, so that would make him about 6' or 6'1", unless he was standing on a slightly elevated floor! Greg Allman is 6'1", so I'm guessing Duane was around that height as well.
