I acquired a new Vox AC10C1 a couple of months ago and I am happy with the stock 10" in the cabinet. This thing gets pretty loud for a 10 watt 10" speaker.

an ac15 puts out a solid 18 watts, a vintage ac10 really puts out 15 to 18 watts. There might be a little less voltage on the plates, but really the only difference between a vintage ac10 and ac15 is the cabinetry, speakers and the output transformer. They are almost the same amp. I'll bet this new RI is really smilar to the current Chinese ac15, just with less features. It probably kicks out close to 18 watts without difficulty but I will ebt the speaker is REALLY LOW EFFICIENCY.

I actually am really into the old 60s JMI ac10 2x10 combos with those Goodman's gold colored alnico speakers. They are sweet. I had a chance to score one a decade ago for a relatively cheap price due to some idiots at a guitar center thinking it was solid state I guess because you can't see tubes hanging down on an old vox (and also the back panel with the s/n and model was missing, but goddamn if I didn't know precisely what this amp was at a glance), but like a moron I tipped my hand to a clerk. See, this idiot was playing through it commenting on how good it sounded for a vox 'transistor' amp while screwing around with the voltage selector because he thought it was some kind of fucking attenuator! I don't know what this moron was thinking. I very well knew that if he kept dickering with the thing the power transformer would blow, and he would probably cause some catastrophic tube failures that might cause arcing across the sockets and a possible flame out, so I told him what it was and he went and got his manager. But it was the only way I could stop this meat head from breaking a lesser known vintage JMI Vox tube amp! I said I was interested in buying it and the asshole just kept 'demonstrating how cool it the amp was' like I didn't already know. Anyway, I had to get that rant off my chest! The only thing that makes me feel better aout that incident is that I couldn't afford the amp at the time even at their low pricing. It had not been so long since I had kicked out for my 62 ac30 and maybe a guitar or 2, so I was on gear-purchasing suspension while I paid some fucking bills.

But I too, am curious how it would be with a 2x12 or any larger 16ohm cab if i needed to fill more space. I do plan on getting a second AC10C1 and going stereo. Anyone out there using a similar setup ?

I always run 2 vintage or boutique ac30 or similar amps anymore, always

I've really been enjoying my Vox ac4HW1 plugged into this old "super musical products" closed back 2x12 from the 80s that I have loaded with greenbacks at 16ohms. Its an oversized frontloader that I had been using with my HC30 for a while laoded with a Celestion Blue and a WGS Reaper30/55hz, but it was kidna boomy so I gutted the speakers for one of my AC30 combos and traded it. A year later she came back to me with greenies and now I am really liking her again. The boominess has been tamed a bit and she helps put some crunchy-cripsy-marshalliness onto everything she touches.... For overdrive this oversized, sealed cab driven by a cruddy 4 or 5 watts of single ended, class A power really sounds bigger than running a more powerful push/pull head (even an 18 watter) through this same cab and dialing the master back some to rein in your overall volume.... the whole exercise is making me miss my oversized marshall 4x12 cabs. I wonder if I fill one with 15 watt speakers if 5 watts will drive it alright? I am pretty sure that with greenbacks a 5 watt amp won't really tickle the voice coils enough to coax any tone from them, but blue or silver alnico speakers are pretty sensitive. Tempting to buy another TV and slap a buncha weber silver bells in there.... anyway!

Is anyone else running a really small tube amp turned up a lot through a bigger, closed back cabinet?

Those amps? Names of them?

I see from right to left a silvertone 1483 in the early combo format that sounds a little different than the twin twelve version popularized by Jack White, then I see a late 60s or 70s ac30, probably a 70s one, maybe a Arbiter built one? wish the pic included more faceplate detail! Then there's a Dano DM-25, early 60s.... I am not sure about that airline amp. Airline amps were generally made by Valco or Dano for Montgomery Wards catalogs and the models directly correlated to Supro and SIlvertone models only with the front control panels and 2 tone Airline cosmetics.... this does not look right. Maybe its late 60s....

https://twitter.com/amirderakh/status/254217113168908288 - this thing next to Orange?

its a Radial engineering JDX amp DI. I've been thinking of getting one, look it up and you'll see why. It does some speaker sim stuff like an H&K redbox too, really neat idea

https://twitter.com/amirderakh/status/302576311208136705

1962T maybe?

it appears to have 2 channels with volume and tone followed by maybe a reverb knob and then footswitch jack and then bias-vary trem circuity with controls for rate and depth..... that can be a lot of supros....

looks like an early 60s royal reverb based on that control layout, but impossible to tell from that angle because I can't see if its got the notorious split chassis and umbilical.... it could also be a dual 6L6 or 6V6 reverb model, I am not sure of all of their iterations as I favor supros with 6973 tubes just like I seek out ampegs with 7591s just because those less common power tubes are a unique voice to those brands. I am a fender Princeton guy for fixed bias 6v6es, prefer Gibson's late 50s and early 60s cathode biased 6V6 type of amps and really am not much of a fan of lower wattage 6L6 amps at all... the supro I owned was an Airline branded 1624T and it indeed sounded glorious turned way up with a tonebender and telecaster. Really a unique sound, though it really wasn't me. But the amp in this picture looks like a 2x10 size cabinet, not 1x12, I just can't figure out which supro 2x10 with that number of controls it could be....

Must agree with the guys about the AC30. Really nice amp. Heavy too. Be ready if you are gonna move it much. Just be aware that not all smaller amps are "practice amps". i recently got a new Vox AC10C1 and I am thrilled with the tone and the volume available with this smaller size. I really don't need to fill a large stage or room, thats what mics and sound systems are for. I have decided to buy a second AC10C1 and go stereo. Good luck in you search for tone. We all are together in the quest.

stereo is fun sometimes although not as fun as a wet/dry/wet setup... I really like to do a 2 amps on all the time setup lately but not for stereo effects, just for the 2 similar amps to be set very differently gain/EQ response-wise to create a thick, wide sound... I've been screwing around using my ac4 with a closed back 2x12 loaded with greenbacks for a really overdriven sound and then an ac30 combo set where its just breakin' up adding definition and some different harmonic content.... plus you get some nice spread with the high efficiency blue alnicos in an open back against the medium efficiency greenies in a frontloaded, oversized closed back config.... you can use one amp as your monitor and then point one at the rhythm section so they can hear you loud and clear and you avoid blasting the audience too hard so that the FOH guy will mic both amps and put them in stereo thru the mains

I want to pick up one of those new Keeley 30ms doubling pedals to get a little detune effect going between both amps to make it feel even wider.... and maybe a head switcher so I can incorporate my HC30 sometimes, but that's a lot of kit to drag to a bar show....

Somehow, I think it might be someone with lots of reverb and doing bends with an eBow.

yeah I would try an ebow, compressor, maybe a ring mod or bit reducer and lotsa digital hall reverb

Anyone able to replicate replicate that weird humming sound in the background? I heard it in Little talks too and I really want to do it, but I can't seem to.

I can barely hear it, is it even a guitar?

Ok thanks again narcist. This is why I joined here to get some advice on some of these newer things out there. I will give the vox a try out to,

Haha, that wasn't me, that was Jim.

yeah, I am a vox amplifier enthusiast... probably people shouldn't take me to seriously, I like to exaggerate the universal awesomeness of ac30 amps because they work really well for me, but honestly YMMV

an initially terrible signal on a guitar can be solved by better effects pedals and a dedicated amp with an EQ that solves bad signals. This is why when you go on YouTube and see people demoing entry-level guitars through Vox AC-30s and such, they still sound very good.

look, crap in equals crap out, but its hard to find a guitar that is total crap these days, there are just too many decent guitars out there for cheap... but a great tube amp like a vox ac30 LITERALLY adds to your signal, no joke, even set clean. It is adding harmonics that are not there due to its bias scheme and no-negative feedback design not to mention the joys of pushing a good ribbed cone alnico speaker to the point where it adds compression and distortion artifacts.... effects pedals on the other hand typically take signal away in places, but in a good way most of the time....

you see people demoing all sorts of guitars with vox ac30s because the vox ac30 is literally one of the best all around amplifiers ever designed, its a 2x12 package that can handle just about anything and still has a solid voice all its own, I have played them all, even famous SS amps like the JC120 and the ac30 is literally my favorite amp for everything from jazz to blue to Motown to funk to rock to classic metal

don't even talk marshall to me, they do their thing, I have owned lots of them including a plexi, they are cool.... ac30 still rules

I had a stable of vintage amps from fenders to marshalls and I sounded great all the time.

Story?

not much to tell, some superfluous pieces were sold to finance stuff like a van, others just got too loud to me and went out for smaller pieces and then some of the smaller stuff that wasn't voxy went out to pay for my ex-wife's 'life issues'.... I'll never make that mistaje again, but I really don't miss the stuff that's gone very much. I kept the voxes and my best guitars so I cannot complain.

You did wrong, mate. You need to get an expensive amplifier, and THEN an expensive guitar. The other way around is like trying to make a chandelier look good in a decrepit little apartment. No matter how nice that chandelier is, the apartment is still disgusting and old.

that's 100% accurate... a quality amp or amp substitute is essential, but you don't need a fancy guitar as long as you get something that plays well off the shelf with no manufacturing flaws and upgrade electronics as you go... a lot of stock electronics in affordable guitars sound quite good these days

there was a time when I owned only affordable, player grade axes but I had a stable of vintage amps from fenders to marshalls and I sounded great all the time. These days I admit I prefer the vox sound (though I own 4 high end amps in this vein thata re all a bit different) but sacrificed the rest of the amp collection to get fancy guitars. If I ahd it to do all over again I would still have spent my 20s owning all the marquee amps and only 2 or 3 decent guitars. All that amp collecting taught me what I like in amps speakers and cab construction and how to get my sound with no fuss so I could focus on guitars.

I like PGS Andy, he seems to find a lot of musical things to do with even the most esoteric effects and his playing style is really similar to my own, particularly his right hand technique. So for me he really lays down a solid demo. Plus I like that PGS always uses the same amp and microphone setup. Sure I prefer a naked eye ribbon and an ac30 to a royer and a deluxe reverb, but I really know what to expect from the PGS rig because I have so much experience with that gear. Andy is the best demoer if you want a clear idea what an effect does and how it sounds through your average bar gig backline.

my 2nd pick is the guys from andertons, I really dig their amp demoing... their demo turned me onto the AC4HW, an amp I play the shit out of at home.

in a Zappa tribute band?

Would you ring mod with some fuzz, or would you set it for extra buzz? Would you ring mod at a gig or run the ring mod through a Sovtek Mig? I do not like your ring mod plan, I will not stomp it Sam I Am!

In comparison to the bass by itself, the sansamp combo was trash. No where near the range that the EMG setup has. I run an RBI and an RPM together in my rack at the same time. I used to like the options available but this Spector sounds so good on it's own I think I'm going to try and sell them soon.

The best SansAmp product I own is the Bass Driver DI pedal, the pedal version of the RBI. Sounds better than the rack version somehow.

I am not a fan of a lot of bass processing if you have a great, active bass. Maybe just some gentle peak limiting if you are playing through a solid state system or if you have an ampeg or vintage fender tube amp, just pushing the amp for natural compression and maybe a little grit when you dig in. Anything else really takes away from the power of quality active electronics like EMG and Alembic. I don't think guitars benefit from these type of ickup systems, but basses definitely do and they are especially beneficial in heavy music and funk.

the kemper heads sound pretty realistic in the mix, not unlike the axe FX 2 only you can totally personalize the kemper.... a lot of R&D went into that shit, they need to recoup before all of their proprietary ideas get snapped up by Line6 and Digitech. The price will remain high until Fractal outdoes them somehow OR until the cheaper brands can match the sound quality.

Keep an eye on eBay, may your luck will turn.

I know there are a bunch of cheap, used Flashback X4s on Reverb.com right now

https://reverb.com/item/1196705-tc-electronic-flashback-x4-delay-looper

HOLY F***

$148 FOR FLASHBACK X4

I hate being broke :(

told ya... I have the loot but know I can't spend it right now, too many real life expenses this month, alas

Keep an eye on eBay, may your luck will turn.

I know there are a bunch of cheap, used Flashback X4s on Reverb.com right now because I have been considering buying one or maybe a Nova Repeater, but my finances suck this month...

The nut is okay... for $17 bucks. They got the measurements correct except for the gauges I told them to put in. They put small gauge string slots so I've been using stainless steel bass strings like a wire saw and widening them a bit. The nut was rushed. Could be good or bad. They had my ordered shipping within a couple of hours but the job was not as round and beautiful as it was on their demo picture.

I thought you gave it to that tool at GC to widen the slots?

I still try to look for more of Millard's gear. In the music video for "Beginning of the twist", it was noted that he played some candy red ES-335 style guitar.

Now, this looks a lot like Taylor's headstock, but Taylor didn't produce ES-335 styled guitars...did he? Anyway, here is the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7eOGf0mnYg

I may have stumbled on a clue! I saw this Epi Elitist today on reverb:

https://reverb.com/item/1202516-epiphone-elite-dot-es335

check that headstock, not the old Epi Elitist 'Gibson mustache' copy I am used to seeing, its shaped a lot like the headstock in your video, though the color and appointments are a bit off, still its the closest match so far... maybe if you check out the epi catalogs for the years epi elitists had this cool headstock shape you will find the guitar

Is that a sitar Noel Gallagher is playing? I don't know really, even if we verify it as sitar, it would be nearly unpossible to see who made it. This was taken at 2007. recordings.

it a sitar, but quality sitars are handmade by India's version of luthiers like a good classical guitar so god knows what it is

But what is that microphone that is visible?

Its a U67. You may be thinking that a 1st gen U87 looks identical, but you can tell by the mount with integral tube cable. I happen to love the U67 and it would definitely be my first choice as a close mic to give a weird instrument like the sitar midrange presence while taming any harshness in that buzzy sound sitars produce. I do not think a U87 would flatter a sitar, though I would also try a U47 if the studio had one. A U67 is a rare enough commodity to begin with though. I digress.

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THE HEBREW HAMMER!!! love that movie

At least rocking has some soul

I'd rather have soul than money

To paraphrase Machiavelli -- Is it better to have soul or money? Its best to have both soul and money, but if one is forced to choose....

hahaha

anyway, its good to try to find the merit in all forms of music that connect well with audiences so you can understand it, assimilate those aspects and better yourself musically as a result hopefully without abandoning your own taste, ie the things that got you making music in the first place.

"As king you must find the good in any situation." -Edward Longshanks, Braveheart

Give him a week alone, locked in a room with various instruments. If he doesn't come out playing them he little more than a kid playing video games.

in another thread gchiaren posted we were trying to ID this kid's acoustic guitar model, so he plays... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one No need to lock him up....

UPDATE:

My EMG Tech was sick or on vacation or something since Thursday. He's sending the part to me free of charge.

He mentioned on the phone that they have one specifically designed for the X series pickups I have that is made without a buffer. I'm hoping I get that one!

nice! this project is finally turning around for you... how did your brass nut turn out?

I have no idea if you are fluent in this or not, but he is using some software, and I don't know the name of it.

I think its Logic 9.1

Wilson is playing here something that looks like orange Charvel, I need the model name. He also uses something that looks like Shubb capo on it.

that's a charvel san dimas pro, but who knows from what era... looks like a shubb, is the capo that important?

In the same video, at 1.19 minute mark, there is something he is working on, and the plate is on top, right next to "Recording the Beatles" book.

what a great book... although I enjoyed Beatles Gear even more by the same cat, Babiuk I think, oh man what a guitar fest!

So, you prefer other music? I don't know, I'm just pointing out the gear I found and that I need the name/just a confirmation if that is the correct gear.

I'm happy to help, I am bumming around today, but yeah, I don't know who most of these guys are, and while I remember when 'Buddy Holly' came out I was not a big fan of weezer or greenday being a little too old to catch that post-grunge train

Those look like 2 different guitars in fact...

yeah they do, one looks spruce topped and one looks like cedar maybe

I seriously doubt that this is Collings...but this logo could say anything from Collings to Ventura ES-335 knockoff.

its really unusual to see an unbound fingerboard on a 335 or knockoff, only the earliest '58s and the 80s/90s studios had unbound fingerboards but the 1st gen studios have no F holes... an\ bottom of the line Epi dot could fit the bill but the headstock is too small... got me, a lot of these videos are too blurry to be useable

Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol is worth mentioning here. For acoustic rendition of Wonderwall, he used this acoustic which I don't know the name of...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtR3LHlc7V4

blurry and grainy, no idea what sort of acoustic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmrZLIWxRkM

What is this exact guitar? It is noted on Wikipedia that this is 6120 New Nashville, however, it doesn't look even close to it.

probably not, more likely its a Tennessee rose maybe or even a 6122 gent of some sort, videos a bit blurry and dude won't hold still.... looks like current production, I lost interest after the first real closeup with the guitar was too bitty and brief to really ID the distinguishing features like what type of bigsby arm etc

what's really kinda fun about this thread is that these are alla rtists I've enver heard of or that I don't like, so its a exclusively an academic exercise

the other thing I should point out is that it seems weird to post the guitars used in choreographed music videos unless there's documentary evidence of the artist using it live or in the studio since they are just miming in music videos and the guitars are essentially props.

His booking fees are $150-$200k+ per show and he does a lot of shows. A quick search on Google shows he made $28MM in 2014.

whoa, I should have done more DJing in the 90s, it just seemed like the rave scene was dead and I was always more of a rocker, bummer

The leather jacket worn by Brad Pitt in "Fight Club" is definitely on here and should not be

Case in point.

Wow. I'm shocked that little s#t "music producer" has a $15.8 million house. Who the *** has paid him so much? Is T-Bone Burnett his alter ego?

I'll bet he licenses a lot of stuff to commercials, movies and tv shows. That's the frickin' cash man... I miss having a publishing/licensing deal.

Hi, I have an analog Ibanez TC10 chorus, which is a nice pedal and sounds awesome. It started recently to make these really odd fuzzy sounds. It actually sounds like a circuit bent pedal, and when it is bypassed, I can hear the clicks of the "speed" botton or the LFO.

Has anyone had similar issues with modulation pedals such as chorus, flanger, phaser etc.??

I would really appreciate any help

probably a bad capacitor... my best friend used to work for Ibanez USA in repairs (their facility is right here near my house) and no matter how old or abused your pedal is, if you contact them they will repair it for free, you just pay postage

I was considering with possibly going for some sort of Hiwatt at a dry as they are so clean sounding, a Vox AC15/30 has that idiosyncratic tone that I love but a Hiwatt tube series (maybe a 40W or 50W) would give a really clean dry element. I know Hiwatt of late have not been all that great so I would probably have to try and find something a bit older or try another Amp for dry tone, I hear that Matchless are pretty transparent amps, would you agree? Perhaps I could look at that as an option?

the most transparent, cleanest matchless in your wattage range is the thunderman... its like a mutt between a vintage ac50 and a hiwatt dr504... its LOUD as heck... a DC30 is more transparent than a vox, but not by much... its a bit louder, a bit punchier, more treble, more bass, more modern, but still relatively low headroom as both of tis channels present a lot of signal to the phase inverter compared to your average ac30... UK modern hiwatt is utter junk and I was unimpressed with the Reeves branded hiwatt clones I've tried, they are weak and sterile compared to a hylight or even the much maligned biacrown hiwatts... Mark Huss makes some great Hiwatt clones with permission of Dave Reeve's surviving family that really do the business under the name of Hi-Tone and he even does a 4x6v6 30 watter that's switchable down to 15 in a pinch if you can't turn the input gain up loud enough to shake the stiffness off w/o pissing off the soundman

but they cost a fortune, almost as much as a Hylight dr504 in bad cosmetic shape... if you can find one, the Harry Joyce branded amps are phenomenal

Dr Z makes an amp that has a sort of DC30ish front end into 2 ultralinear KT77 tubes that's very hiwatty but with a more robust preamp that can get a full sound even at low levels

Now, this looks a lot like Taylor's headstock, but Taylor didn't produce ES-335 styled guitars...did he? Anyway, here is the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7eOGf0mnYg

based on the headstock shape, what I can see of the logo's script, the look of the pickup rings, finish color and unbound fingerboard it just might be a Collings I35... I wish the video wasn't so bitty, I can't read the logo, just kinda make out the font shape nor can I see if there's that offset little indent on the bass side of the headstock bulge that Collings does on their electrics... grrr

I am thinking I-35LC, plain top

I still try to look for more of Millard's gear. In the music video for "Beginning of the twist", it was noted that he played some candy red ES-335 style guitar.

Now, this looks a lot like Taylor's headstock, but Taylor didn't produce ES-335 styled guitars...did he? Anyway, here is the video.

I was thinking it looked like a Taylor too for a sec and I don't know jack about Taylor electrics (heh heh, jack, electric, pun not intened), but a little before 2 minutes I can see the headstock a lil more clearly and it really appears to be an epiphone logo for that second or two, I'll think about it and get back to you.... its an atypical headstock so it could be a 70s/80s Japanese epi thinline, matsumoko made a bunch of epis back then including Riviera/casino variants

Moving on, other guitar player I admire is Brian Bell.

He played some kind of ES-225 guitar in music video for "Buddy Holly". I need a confirmation whether is that ES-225 or not.

you are correct sir, its a single Florentine cutaway thinline with the crappy trapeze bridge/tail combo like a 1st year LP and a single P90

Lean off it, it is not L30, especially because body doesn't look like it. This guitar seen has body more like an acoustic, the L30 has a different body. The logo used was used on many Gibsons, it is this vintage logo which might indicate that this is a vintage guitar. Anyway, I will contact They Might Be Giants. Or at least, I will try. Last month, Guild responded me about question which guitar was Courtney Taylor-Taylor using.

That's the best I can come up with from my personal experience. I am answering you from memory mostly and I seldom play vintage Gibson acoustics unless I am down at this great shop on Broad Street in town... doesn't come up a lot.

I can't find the photo of thinline Longhorn, I just put it as Danelectro Coral Longhorn. I couldn't find the 1969. one, so on the photo, it is 1968. one. Anyway, this submission should be valid. Many thanks about that!

I really had to concentrate for this one and I could be wrong about the pickguard thing, I haven't seen any Corals n person in awhile. I forgot Dano even did the Coral brand for a minute yesterday :-)

I can ask Fender or someone about it, but it seems like I will get the same answer you gave. Those could be various Telecasters...

yeah, Teles are really tough to identify unless they have an unusual, non-vintage feature

Update on Guild guitar : first, I thought this was a Guild F30, and it seems now that this is Guild GAD50, which has pretty much the same inlays as the pictured guitar.

nice detective work, I felt sure the atypical inlay work would track it down... there aren't a lot of guilds with anything but dots or large blocks

Yup, just an ordinary Gibson ES-335 Dot...many thanks for that.

I would guess its an 80s or 90s dot based on the black finish that was a lot more popular back then, they don't make a ton of black ones anymore, but they used to... and truly vintage 335s are EXTREMELY rare in black with dots, they are even pretty rare with the small blocks because black was not an off-the-shelf finish for anything but a 355 until well into the Norlin era

I have this theory that this Telecaster Custom he played during the years could be repainted into this, what do you think? I mean, last time I saw him with Custom was this Rockness 2013. I believe.

could be, lacquer looks pretty worn for a recent refin, then again, the man is obviously a road warrior and it might be a year or 2s worth of road wear... either way its a Tele Custom for sure because of the ashtray and 3 visible saddle screws under his right hand

Hello, i'm trying to make van halen ain't talk about love riff effect. I'm a begginer. I think it is easy for people here. But, i did't. I have a boss ME-70 pedalboard. I'm trying ovd + flanger (or phaser) + reverb and a little bit of palm mute technics, But, there are too many parameters to set. Any help?

oh god, VH, the trickiest of all ahrd rock tones to capture even with his exact gear.... signal chain is everything to the VH tones, there are whole forums dedicated to finding his sound so try google searching

And how does the jacket feel?:)

Feeling dorky since before hipsters made dorkiness cool (I think I got it in 1993)

I know that this guitar isn't Gibson L00, I noticed it as soon as I wrote down this nonsense. Gibson L30 was/is really popular for this dark colour, and L4 is usually in some kind of bursts, I would definitely say that this is Gibson L30.

I am leaning towards an L30 because of the finish, good deduction there

Guess what I have found? The original photo! This is definitely Jerry Jones Coral Thinline Longhorn! Thanks for that! Or do you have a second opinion for that?

http://www.tmbg.com/photos/hires/tmbgcolorhi2.jpg

Its a '69 Coral Thinline Longhorn by danelectro. Headstock's a dead giveaway, ad I am pretty sure the earlier years for this guitar didn't have a pickguard. Bingo.

I'm still pretty sure that this is Fender American Vintage '62 Telecaster...look at this photo I found of it in surf green...it is identical to one that Flansburgh plays...

could be, all vintage appointed Tele models in surf green look the same in a photo.... Fender makes like 4 different versions of a slab rosewood fretboard tele with vintage bridge in this finish currently

Moving on..Barry Hyde from Futureheads played interesting guitars. (that guy without glasses)

I have actually tried to contact him, but no replies were given. Anyway, I have stumbled across this photo, in which he seems to play something that looks like Guild D-40 Bluegrass Special, but I am definitely wrong, it is something similar, but not a D-40.

It doesn't look big eough to be a dreadnought unless he is really, really big. But all the Guild 000s I know of have more rounded shoulders. If you look it doesn't have large block inlays nor does it have straightforward dots in every fret, go with that when researching. It ooks like maybe small blocks? Anyway, its an oddball. Reminds me of a D130 maybe, but only somewhat...

http://static3.imagecollect.com/preview/4964/82b13ef77708693

(I would also like to know what does the guitarist with glasses, mr. Millard play, I can't find the name or model or anything for this acoustic!)

Ross Millard is noted to play Telecaster Custom, but he also played Gibson ES-335 Dot (unsure if it is 335 or 333 or 339 or 330).

a 330 is an epi casino, I think a 333 should have uncovered humbuckers stock and no 'torch' inlay on the headstock, a 339 is WAY smaller.... its just a black dot reissue of some sort
