Gary's brother lives or used to live in Weston Super mare.
I saw him, hes not quite up to Gary's standard!
If I think of the Gary Moore sound, its instantly "Oh Pretty Woman" from Still got the blues.
In the early 80's metal era he mainly used his pink 61 strat with stock pickups, but when he went solo with songs like "Empty rooms" in the mid 80's he used Hamer a lot, Les Pauls, also a light blue flying V.
If its the "Still got the blues" album sound you're after, and I think thats THE classic Gary Moore album, actually a classic album anyway, he used different Les Pauls 58's and 59's into a Marshall Gov'nor distortion pedal (the older type Gov'nor) and then into a Marshall JTM 45, live it was the same except I think he used 100 Marshalls.
In the early 80's playing heavy metal with the pink strat, he used all Boss pedals, mainly DS-1 Distortion and the 0ctave divider.
When he played Red House at the Fender show 2 years ago, he used the pink strat.
I haven't heard his latest album, but I heard a track from an album from a couple of years ago and I really didn't like the sound at all, Have you got the "Blues alive" live album from the time of "Still got the blues"?
Its AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the Mules are a good bet.
I have got a MULE neck "not literally" and an Emerald.
I don't think it matters which ones for this because although the MULES are lower powered like the PAF's, he puts it through the Govnor to drive the amp hard anyway.
