any thoughts?

and in order to get that sound /effect , would you have to have that exact amp ?

It looks like an Eastman archtop guitar.

I agree, it looks like an Eastman guitar. They are decent quality, but nothing special.

It also looks like a Fender Amp, but I can't tell which one. Fender has made dozens or hundreds of models of amps over the years. It isn't a big amp, but there are still lots of that general size.

I don't see any effect boxes in the chain, but maybe there is one behind the amp.

You wouldn't need the exact same amp to get that sound, but similar pickups in a hollow body guitar through a similar amp would be a good start. There are many variables in what a setup sounds like, though.

And remember, a lot of a player's sound comes from his fingers, no matter what gear is used.

The pickups are OEM Lollar Imperials in standard wind. I didn't build those, but if you buy an Eastman with a Lollar P-90 in it, the earliest ones will have my signature on the back.

Bendable, the meat and potatoes to your question is: decent quality guitar, high quality pickups, tube amp, skill.

That is cool, Smudge. So, the Eastman has good pickups!
