Tried to take a screen grab but was over the size limit and no image editing software.

Yeah looks like a gretch, maybe I'm imagining it but it looks more pointy.

I think they usually play epiphones, but this song is in drop D and the rest of their songs aren't

It's a Gretsch Roc Jet...not many came with a Bigsby, mostly the G tail piece. Cool guitars. Always have Supertrons and big headstocks which was de ri·gueur for the 70's no matter which brand.

edit - look at the shitty break angle on this one. Bet it sounds meh.

On a separate topic... the drummer has his ride in an interesting place. Never seen that before. I guess it's handier than having it sit over the floor-tom, if you have the space.

Definitely bang on there. Really like these, pretty Les Paulish, but I'm pretty over the standard les paul shape, these are interesting looking.

Ride looks pretty normal to me, usually they're over the high or low tom, sort of depends how your crashes are placed though

Agreed - these have some weirdness going that I really like. Like the lower cut out is in the wrong place. Gretsch USA were on bad acid for a few years, well from '69 to '81, but some of their designs still were cool.
