That's a really interesting tele. JM headstock, SD mini bucker (or whatever they're called) on the bridge, mirror guard, great color. That looks like great fun to play.

What is acoustic? Oh, you means a grandpa's guitars? A grandpa's guitars? That's for pussies and grandpas. I think you know it.

Darwin Deez. Squier-tastic. And only 4 strings, too.

The other guitarist had similarly cheap taste and I remember seeing a Hello Kitty Strat at one point, too, unless I'm very much mistaken.

i see the guitar player from Arcade Fire has been playing pretty much nothing but old Framus guitars, which you can pick up quite cheaply on this side.

example: the BL10 guitar in the Reflektor video clip - man i want one of those! :ph34r:
i love delay SO much ...that i procrastinate all the time.

I mean, that's a Gibson S-1, there was nothing cheap about it when it was made and there's nothing cheap about it now.
That's what I was thinking. But, I wasn't sure if it was cheap new. Not desirable at the time, from what I understand. I know they are awesome though - I love mine.

Last few times Peter Green went out on tour he played mainly JHS guitars, Fretkings, Vintage, Italia. It was very strange considering the guy once owned what is now one of the most expensive guitars ever sold at auction, but he seems unconcerned with such things, just plays whats at hand.

I was going to mention that.

Seems 'Vintage' have signed up loads of old rockers for signature models. Some very unusual deals going down! There are loads more of them but here are a couple:

I know Nicky Wire really likes the basses too. Got to say most that I've played have been top notch!

Apparently she had to sell the black one to pay her rent... read about it a while back.
