I was watching the video for "Good Enough" by Mudhoney today and was wondering what kind of guitar I believe Steve Turner is playing....it doesn't appear as one of his guitars on Equipboard...red, three pickups, at first glance I thought it was a Strat, but not,,,,,,,,any help is appreciated, it's killin me. I thought maybe it was a Guild but it just doesn't fit. Thanks!

based on closeup @2:03, I'm going to go with 1960s Hofner Super Solid 3:

Guitar spotting is not my area of expertise though, this is just me googling around a few minutes.

Thanks eyesee!

I'm not sure what the differences are between the Super Solid and the visually very similar Galaxie. This Reverb listing claims the Galaxie was the 3-pickup successor to the Super Solid, but someone is going to need to dive a bit deeper to sort out whether the video is a Super Solid 3 or a Galaxie. Can't take just one seller's word for it.

on further inspection, I'm going with Hofner Galaxie. The Super Solid has big Strat style knobs around the edge of the body, and the Galaxy has roller-type adjustments near each pickup... the guitar in the video would seem to be a Galaxie, based on this.
