Accidentally forgot to mention:
Brad also played a Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman on I Wish You'd Stay and a 64 Gibson ES-335 on Two People Fell In Love. And he used a Victoria Tweed Twin with Celestion Golds as the 2nd amp on I'm Still A Guy, and a Dr. Z Stingray through a Z-Best 2x12 cab with Blues as the 2nd amp on Letter To Me and Online.
