Unexpected choice of guitar

John Renbourn

Pentangle. Used the 335 quite often in fact

 

John Renbourn, generally known for his acoustic work, consistently incredible. seldom see him with an electric

 

Phil "Snakefinger" Lithman

no idea what guitar that is

 

TS McPhee - Fender Mustang

 

I always think of this guy when it comes to Bass Guitar. I hear he writes songs too.

 

Robbie Robertson with an Epiphone Casino

 

I believe the 6-string bass used on the recordings was a Danelectro -- one of the long necked U-series models, I think.

 

It is a beautiful guitar. I honestly don't find it all that strange she is playing that type of guitar. I did find her playing a Parker a bit, well...uh, unique

 

I’m guessing he means Taylor is inspiring many young girls to pick up guitar. Something they may not have done if they didn’t have Taylor as a role model.

 

I was actually interested in a Parker a while back. Never followed through with the deal though. Probably all for the better. I’m sure I would have taken a bath on it if I decided to let it go later on.

 

Here's Glen Campbell's Teisco...

 

Who is that playing the Explorer?

 

Don Preston

 

“Me and my friend like AC/DC”


But, in general, Telecasters surprise me. Most notibly, Jimmy Page and Elliot Easton. I guess Teles are more versatile than they seem.

 

Actually it's an Epiphone Riviera, with mini-humbuckers (the Casino has P-90's) ..

 

Good catch!

 

The scarves Simon and Garfunkel are wearing can be seen in the cover photo shoot for the "Sounds of Silence" album that Guy Webster did in Beverly Hills. So I think it's right after "Sounds of Silence" became a hit single and before the album was released.

 

That's not a Casino,looks like a late 60's Epiphone Riviera to me.Those are mini-humbuckers in that picture above,not P-90's.
Here is the Riviera..
Well looks like it's already been corrected as i posted this

 

Yes
Telecasters are versatile

 

Robbie also played a Howard Roberts Gibson on the second Band lp. I believe there's a picture of it inside the fold-open album cover.

 

Anything Mark Farner chose to play was pretty unexpected in a mainstream sense:

His Messenger model



Micro-frets guitar



And his Parker

 

Looks like a Kent 820. A very cool guitar.

 

This may not be generally unexpected, I don’t know. For me, it is more the combination of guitar and the time period that is unexpected, as I know Jimi used a Jazzamaster a lot for a period during his pre-fame years.
