Dave Wakeling's Guitars
Dave Wakeling is known for his Vox Teardrop (Mark VI V222) guitars. He mentions them in this interview. His love of them began when he saw Bryan Jones, of The Rolling Stones: "Bryan Jones had one and he was my favorite Rolling Stone and I wanted to be him . . ." He has both a two- and a three-picup model, as seen in the stage photos in this thread on The Gretsch Pages.

"It was the most expensive rehearsal I've ever been to," sighs Wakeling, who alternates between a new Fender Telecaster and his old Gretsch Tennessean, both strung with Fender 10 gauge strings and put through a Roland JC-160 Combo amp. Wakeling uses Ernie Ball picks and his only effect is a Boss DD-2 delay pedal.
