You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.207.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:02, 21 January 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Gibson Everly Brothers Flattop''' is a signature [[acoustic guitar]] model produced by the [[Gibson Guitar Corporation]].

[[The Everly Brothers]] recorded many hit songs during the 1950s and the 1960s, such as "[[Wake Up Little Susie]]", "[[Let It Be Me (Everly Brothers song)|Let It Be Me]]", "[[Cathy's Clown]]", "[[All I Have to Do is Dream]]", and "[[Bye Bye Love (Everly Brothers song)|Bye Bye Love]]". Throughout the 1950s, they used [[Gibson J-200]] guitars, some customized with dual [[pickguard]]s. 

In 1962, Gibson collaborated with the Everly Brothers to produce the ''Everly Brothers Flattop''. This [[flat top guitar]] featured a thin J-185-style body and an adjustable [[bridge (instrument)|bridge]]. The guitar was unusual in that it featured star-shaped [[inlay (guitar)|inlays]] on the [[rosewood]] [[fretboard]], and it had a large double tortoise grain pickguard, which covered most of the top of the body. As the pickguard covered most of the [[Sound board (music)|top]] of the guitar, it limited the [[vibration]] of the top, thus limiting the sound of the guitar. The standard [[Wood finishing|finish]] on the guitar was black, though a few models were natural or [[sunburst]] finish. The Everly Brothers Flattop was discontinued in 1972, but was reissued as the ''Gibson J-180'' in the mid-1980s. 

The Everly Brothers used these guitars throughout the 1960s, both live and in the [[recording studio]]. [[Paul McCartney]] also owns and plays an ''Everly Brothers model'', as did many influential artists including [[George Harrison]], [[Bob Dylan]], [[Cat Stevens]], [[Neil Diamond]], [[Keith Richards]],  [[Jimmy Page]], [[Roger Daltrey]], [[Billie Joe Armstrong]], [[Billy Idol]], [[Sharleen Spiteri]], [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]] and many more.  [[Albert Lee]] is the owner of [[Don Everly]]'s original ''Everly Brothers Model''. Lee was presented with the guitar by Don Everly himself. The guitar that Don gave to Albert Lee is not an 'Everly Brothers Model', but a 1958 SJ-200 finished in black with cream double pickguards.
