What kind of guitar does she use?

Before we get into this, why don't you take a moment to thank the people that chipped in on your previous thread, and log that SG Gothic to whoever that artist was?

Looks to me like like a Fender Lead II. The body and headstock look Fender-ish, although I can't see if the Fender logo is on the headstock. The Lead II is the only fender guitar that I can think of that resembles a strat, but with two single coil pickups (which, in the video, appear to be slanted, just like on a Lead II).

I had the same thought initially: one of the forgotten Fender models of years past...

...but 2 details:

*1. This artist's guitar has a slanted plug jack, whereas every non-Strat Fender I've ever seen has a straight plug, including the Lead I and II

*2. Only the bottom pickup is slanted, whereas the Lead II had a slant on both

My current working theory is that this is an MIJ short scale strat (24") as many of those had slightly smaller Strat-shaped bodies and only 2 knobs, instead of the standard 3. Here's a vintage Japanese example, and a more recent example.

That still doesn't explain the missing middle pickup, but there were some rare examples of MIJ Strats with only 2 pickups, but only with straight plugs... hmmm.

It could also be a strat knock off... as we all know there are like 4 fake strats for every real one.

Might be an MIJ Squier Bullet, like the one from this thread:

That squire is linked in my earlier post, so I agree to a degree, but those all those 2-pickup Squier Strats documented online are straight-plug, not a slant-jack to be seen...

If someone was going to mod a guitar, putting on a 2-pickup pickguard to cover the middle slot is much less involved than routing the body and rewiring to accommodate a slanted jack.

I'm from that era, all the 2 pickup strats had flat SG type pickguard mounted jacks.... you really saw an abundance of them

I'm grateful to you for your help, but I don't always have time to go to equipboard.com
