What make and model of guitar was the guy in the band playing?


Does anyone know what kind of guitar the guy in the band was playing. Not the Les Paul but the Fender. I think it was a Mustang but I'm not sure. Thanks.

Gibson Firebird

I didn't know Gibson ever made that body style with the straight-six pegs in the head, but I wondered because it didn't have a Fender sound. Thanks.

It's actually a reverse Gibson Firebird with 3 P-90 pickups. The headstock was pretty much an exact copy of Fender's, with the banjo tuners aligned on the same side, until Gibson was sued and had to "reverse" it as well. It looks like an early '60s, but with all the reissues of late it's hard to tell. She's a beauty alright.
