I gather Bruce used an electric guitar for some pieces in the pre-Burns era. These seem to be Quartermaster Stores and Tales of a raggy Tramline (are there others?).

Which electric guitar did he use? A Jazzmaster? Was this a sunburst?

Many thnaks in advance.

Have a look at this site : http://www.brucewelchtribute.com/
In the "Guitars" section, you'll find informations about the guitars he has used.
At the time of "Quatermasters' stores" recording he certainly didn't have yet the Jazzmaster which he didn't use long.

Thank you, Didier. I will do that.

"At the time of "Quatermasters' stores" recording he certainly didn't have yet the Jazzmaster which he didn't use long."

I don't know where you get your information from Didier. You have a DVD in your possession which shows Bruce playing his Jazzmaster in The Cliff Richard Show which was broadcast on 19th March 1960, three months before QS was recorded.



ps note the Selmer Truevoice amps.

So Bruce was probably using the sunburst Jazzmaster for Quatermasster's Stores? Sorry, I 've asked this in son many threads already.

Andy

Yes, he then moved to an Orange Gretsch 6120 in late 1960, followed by a White Tele before they got their matching Red Fenders from Jennings circa March 1961.

It wasn't an information, but a deduction. At this time he couldn't afford such an expensive guitar. How did he got it ?
Did Cliff bought it for him as he did for Hank's Strat ?

Don't forget the sunburst Strat as well - you'll see that on the back of the 'Me and My Shadows' LP Sleeve.........

... or the other strange thing with the huge bar pickup............there's few others in the mix too.

...and this one.
