WHICH GUITAR?

[MoonCat]

Look at this clip on You Tube - which guitar is Bruce using? This one has black pick-ups and knobs :

Nice clip. Bruce's guitar appears to have the large '70s style headstock whereas Hank's has the smaller '50s style.

This was in 1981 and at that time 34346 was painted white and I saw Bruce use it on tour when they came to the Cornwall Coliseum but obviously this isn't 34346 as it has black pickups and knobs and a large headstock which was standard on new ones around that period. Must have been a standby guitar because of 34346 being serviced or something at the time.

I've never seen that clip before.

Hank's red Strat seems to be the 1958 model he bought from Patrice Bastien in Paris, circa 1980/1981. The guitar being played by Bruce might (and only might) have been borrowed from Cliff - who has had a series of them over the years. Was he pictured with a guitar like that on the cover of "Rock'n'Roll Juvenile"?

i think the white strat is cliffs that was recently on ebay for something like £6000, its the white guitar cliff used on the event for Move it as shown here.

The one in that clip seems to have the small headstock.

It was on december 4th 1980, when the Shadows came to Paris to play at the Mogador theater. Patrice wrote the full story about it and posted it a few years ago on our French forum.

It looks rather like a Squier from the 1980s. They did have a range with black pickup covers for a time.
