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

Maybe a 6122 I'd say given its a thinner body than a 6120

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.*UNIQUE* wrote:It's a Gretsch Roc Jet...not many came with a Bigsby, mostly the G tail piece.

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

Re: ID a guitar for me
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.
