Saw an old TV performance of him miming with it. But seems for a short while he used it live

Any intel?

I don't remember ever seeing him with a Strat tbh! I mostly think SG and Casino for that period

@stickyfiddle - yes, indeed.

It's from when he toured the "Paul Weller Movement." The line up is still basically The Style Council

Live at The Brixton Academy 1991:He also plays a pink Paisley Tele

His Rodney Trotter phase.

That glassy strat sounds great on Ever Changing Moods at the end of that vid, good watch

I remember seeing that Strat on the Into Tomorrow documentary. I thought at the time it was strange seeing him playing one.

More like Dumb And Dumber.

Hard to pull of a bowl cut unless you are a pretty girl. Not his finest.

He was propa on his arse when The Paul Weller Movement started.

Lacking confidence and direction, but still something magical about those early small gigs. I saw him and Coventry, and spoke to John before the gig…

He did anounce the band that night, and Weller (much to our dismay) did indeed play a Strat that night…

I've seen him use a Strat in the 90s - can't remember the tune he used it for but I remember it having odd pickups (some black, some white). I seem to recall he played it fingerstyle...

He probably still has it, knowing Mr W.
