Nice finish on Dave Brock's LP.

Pic's a bit crappy, it was much better and sharper on the night. Want!

It would be a failure if everyone liked it.

Sassafras

It's better than the finish on his face.
WTF's going on with that man's face?

RandallFlagg

it's minging

Kind of reminds me of Tibetan thanka painting technique for clouds.

Hopefully I'll see it at the Roundhouse on Friday.

I think it looks cool.

Certainly looks more in keeping with the image than a poxy sunburst

It's what happens when you reach 75 years old.... you know, wrinkles and stuff, and there's no need to shave and impress the groupies ... but kudos to Brock, because I've heard Francis Rossi complain like a trooper it's getting harder to tour/play live, yet he's only 67.

I prefer what Brock's got on the stand behind him ... a Gibson Nighthawk re-issue. He's been known to play near anything and just gets on with it. Sometimes that's how I think it should be, although I appreciate what we play can be dictated by the £££ we have available, or what won't get damaged in a live band situation.

But back to the guitar in the photo, the LP's appearance is hampered by the lighting. It looks like is has the 'spaghetti-sauce' finish made famous by Heinz?

Sarge

Meh, his westone spectrum and paduak were better

Needs an Orgone Accumulator....

He's still alive, a triumph of will over biology. Being in Hawkwind is not like a normal job.

Looks like he's plastered....

I'm resurrecting this old thread as I noticed Dave Brock using another 'new' guitar alongside the 'tie dye' Les Paul pictured above during the RAH gig on Friday. I don't recognise it - can anybody shed any light?

steamabacus

Yamaha?

Fernandes I think

Forget the guitar and Brock's dial - I couldn't tear my eyes away from his piggin' sandals.

Hmmm? Good call but I can't find anything online that quite matches that headstock and logo position.

Pretty sure it is a Fernandes.  No idea what the model would be.
