Unexpected choice of guitar

McGuinn with a Gretsch Country Gent

 

I don't understand why some of these are odd since I have no context of what some of these people usually play...especially when I don't even know who they are and the photos are unlabeled. I mean, who the hell is that guy?

 

Keith just exuded coolness back then!

 

Bill Frisell with a Strat:

 

...and John Scofield with a Tele:

 

I know it's a custom made (one off?) piece. Still an odd looking choice to my simple mind .

 

Still holding my breath to see a Les Paul Deluxe hanging over his shoulder again.

 

From just one page earlier in this thread... enjoy!

 

That’s a Rick Turner Guitars Model 1 - a very cool pickup design, allows you to rotate it to get different sounds...

 

You just made my day.

 

Looking at the picture he was probably having trouble playing the keys with that plaster cast on his right hand!

 

Look up The Dirty Mac. Clapton and John Lennon on guitars, Keef playing bass.

 

Just a simple, ________ usually play a ________ would be nice.

 

Several photos I took of Neil with that guitar at Winterland in 1973 I think.

 

Auditioning for AC/DC?

 

Definitely weird!
