Bob Casale's Guitars
Similar to the G&L SC-2, the Ibanez Talman TC420 is a supremely attractive, playable, and toneful sleeper guitar, with a cult following of those in-the-know. The late Bob Casale’s main axe toward the end of his adventurous life was a slightly customized, green-bodied Talman TC420 with a red pickguard and a beautifully flamed maple neck and fretboard.

Bob Casale’s main guitar seems to have been a red Hagstrom PB-24-G which he played at Devo’s first performance (as Sextet Devo) at Kent State University in 1973 as well as the “Satisfaction” and “Come Back Jonee” videos in 1978. Occasionally played by Mark Mothersbaugh as well as on Saturday Night Live in 1978 (with his trademark pedals duct taped to it).
