A fat, blond jazz box. Beautiful! I couldn't make out the name on my TV. Anyone see it, know what it is?

Probably some fabulous high-priced hand-built miracle from some superb luthier... grumble grumble...

I just e-mailed the Tonight Show. I'll post the response if I get a reply.

I went to Kevin Eubanks website(duh):
"THIS crazy ass guy from Puerto Rico named Abe Rivera makes all of my guitars. For those of you that care about this kind of thing, my necks are much bigger than yours. It changes everything from the sound to the feel and everything in between. It’s really a very personal thing, though. Anyway they’re very beautiful just to look at, take a peek. Abe is such a great luthier."

I always thought it looked like his guitar had a really wide neck on it. But I didn't know for sure how much the camera distorted what it really looked like. He looks like he's got pretty big hands, though, so the bigger neck wouldn't be too much tougher to play.

Yeah his guitars look like they weigh abit too.
I don't mean to Hijack the thread, BUT...
Which late night band do you guys like the best?
I like Conan's myself.
(And SNL's band has always rocked as well.)

I really like Conan's band - but all of the late night bands have really good players. I'd gladly share a stage with any of the late night cats!!!

It's gotta be a pretty weird experience to have that kind of gig...
It seems cool as hell to get paid to play 5 nights a week and back artists up now and then, but likely alot of work too.
I wonder if they ever get burnt out.

Almost. The one he was playing had a Trapeze Style tailpiece.

Kevin Eubanks rocks, but he is nothing compared to Jimmy Laveno of Late Night with Conan O' Brien...

I like Jimmy Vivino the best out of the late-night bands, but Eubanks is very good. The only thing is that Eubank's tone sounds somewhat muffled, like you're only hearing the back of the amp or something.
