Goodness me!
That certainly looks very much like the guitar Hank used on the tour here...IIRC Bruce's guitar had no vibrato arm fitted...never seen a reverse scroll headstock before-and it has that different body shape and scratchplate, but they were prototypes after all IIRC...I have a DVD set which includes the Shads performances miming on TV on the show 'Bandstand' but the quality is not great and details are hard to see...also I note that the four control layout appears to be the usual master tone and two tone controls, plus a 5 way rotary switch...which answers my question as to what circuit those guitars used- as it was four knobs, I had wondered if it had Bison type wiring..but not so!
WHERE is the guitar I wonder?- that looks like a picture taken at someone's home...I also wonder, who owns it?
Thanks for posting anyway- very interesting!
