I'm not normally a fan of Bigsby equipped guitars, but I do like this one.

Obviously custom inlay and finish but is it a custom guitar?

Don't know what the rest of his rig is but I'm loving the sound...

    Quick Google tells me he is Neil Giraldo, Benetar's fella, and I think it is one of these:

    Why did I read that as GIMP?

    Looks like he has a Pod Pro in his rack.

    I don't like the sound - it's very brash and processed-sounding, to me.

    Back in the day, he used a humbuckered Tele and couple of Marshall 50W Master Volume combos (or sometimes stacks possibly, although it was combos in the 80s), sounded *much* better.



    (Takes a while to get going but worth it!)

    Sounds a bit weird at the gentler kinda playing, full tilt it's not too nasty, but I wouldn't say it sounded great! Kinda sticks out in the mix, too...

    Though that said, it sounds better than I ever made a POD sound! (good spot @ICBM).  

    Actually, that doesn't sound horrific - better than expected, if someone told me it was a POD.

    He has a signature B.C. Rich Eagle with a Bigsby. I'd have rather liked it if not for that last detail...

    It appears that he played the solo at 1:15 here though, which I've always thought is just fantastic.

    Never heard that before @bucket, but you're right, that's a quality rock solo!
