Quick guitar quiz

SOH-CM-2023
As a break from finding obscure aircraft to ID - here's a photo I took last night - a trio of guitars (two Fenders and a *?) -belonging to someone who I consider the best all-round guitar man in the business.

A :icon29: of Scottish ale to the man (or lady) who gets it first.....

(one alone should give it away to you strummers, and I think that covers just about every member of the Outhouse!)
 
2 Fenders and a Bumper

2 Fenders and a Deck Lid (Boot in the Queen's English)

2 Fenders and a Hood (Bonnet, Queen and all)

2 Fenders and a Quarter Panel

I'm a car guy...and the only Fenders I know are on cars.

Funny thing about fenders, I never knew that in England they are called wings. Been watching a couple of British car shows...Wheeler Dealer and Auto Trader....and it surprised me to hear fenders being called wings.

OBIO
 
Hmm, I see a Fender Telecaster with supposedly a Humbucker in the neck position, a Squire by Fender Jazzmaster (east asia low budget Fender brand) with a fixed bridge and two Humbucking pickups and a Fender Stratocaster with a reversed headstock, old Floyd Rose Vibrato and three Precision bass pickups.
All three axes highly customized, guess nothing you can buy "off the rod".

EDIT: The pickups in the Strat might as well be from a Fender Electric XII respectively the ill-fated Fender Custom from 1970.
 
Question remains, who is the guitarist?
First thought was: the axes look weird enough to belong to David Lindley.
Second thought, no, the Matchless is too expensive for the guy's trash collection.
Third thought, Mark Knopfler, but no, too extravagant.
No idea really.
 
Mathias, at least one of these was available as a signature model....

We are talking about a serious player here !
 
Now it's too easy, lefty.
John Jorgenson.
May I have a blond German Pils in place of the Scottish ale?
Alternatively I'd take an Irish Bushmills.
 
I've seen so many videos from that programme, Mathias - was that the German equivalent of Old Grey Whistle Test ?

In fact I have a DVD called 'Guitar Heroes' which is all Ohne Filter clips, (including Duke Robillard, who was a previous owner of my Les Paul.) Sadly the video quality is not good.

Great stuff. JJ was doing a purely rock gig last night, no Django stuff. Great Californian drummer called Jason Smith. Playing in a small venue (40 seats) it is great fun. He is a genuinely nice guy.
 
Tigisfat, as Mathias said, it is a customised Squier Jazzmaster (actually I think they called it the Jagmaster).

Henry, JJ is a session man (Elton John, etc)who goes back to the Desert Rose Band, and the Hellecasters. OK, so you haven't heard of them either. Ah well.....

He is probably also one of the leading exponents of the Django Rheinhardt style. Now surely.....

squier guitars recieve alot of guffaws when somebody pulls one out. after all, they are 1/10th of the price of a made in america strat or tele. they don't have all the high end goodies the others have. i have one, and it plays and sounds better than it has any right to. it has a humbucker at the bridge but it's wired like 2 singles in series. somehow even with the cheap bridge and a mildly massaged nut, it stays in tune even if i go all "jimmy hendrix" on the whammy bar.

...which for the record, i almost never do, except to annoy the dogs. :icon_lol:
 
Oh boy, a guitar thread!:jump: For the record I like those garish sparkle numbers. Something different.

Any takers on this rare one? (Had a chance once upon a time to buy one for cheap) Doh!

That cat's eye with the bigsby is pretty nice looking. I bet you spent a good part of the time trying to keep it in tune. :icon_lol:
