Harry McVeigh

In this photo, McVeigh is visible with the Fender Telecaster, which has Bigsby vibrato on.

Harry has been using this Gibson SG Junior for several years. He is know for always using the same set of guitars while on tour, to which he comments that he prefers to have only a few reliable instruments. This guitar seems to be built between 1961 and 1963, given the fact that it still has the "Les Paul Jr." branding on the headstock (Gibson removed it in 1963, officially calling it the SG Junior).

Specs-wise, it has a Bigsby B5 installed and probably the stock P-90 pickup, as well as pair of Schaller strap locks and a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut.

Harry has been seen playing this ebony-colored Gibson ES-335 since his first gigs in 2008. A Bigsby B700 was fitted to the guitar around 2009 during his early tours with White Lies (Here you can see the guitar before being fitted with the Bigsby B700, with its stock nut and cream switch tip: Video). The holes left by the stoptail removal were patched, with the repair work slightly visible in certain light angles.

Specs-wise, it has Grover Original Rotomatics tuning keys and a pair of humbucker pickups, both of them probably stock. The guitar also has a pair of Schaller strap locks, a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut and a matching black switch tip.

Harry got this late-60's/early 70's Olympic White Fender Telecaster with a factory Bigsby B5 in 2008. We know it's a stock Fender Bigsby because the guitar lacks string-thru-body ferrules. Around that time, the guitar snapped in half, and as a result, McVeigh stopped using it on tour until they glued it back together (Here you can see that the Bigsby arm fell off during a concert: Image 1, Image 2).

Similarly to the rest of his guitars, this Telecaster also has a pair of Schaller strap locks and a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut. Originally, when he first got the guitar, it had a different, white nut.

In this Instagram post, Harry McVeigh can be seen playing a Antique Natural 1941 Gibson SJ-100 Reissue. We know it's this model because the guitar has the model's signature Mother-of-Pearl Gibson Script Logo in the headstock, 40's style SJ-100 bridge and AJ Style Firestripe pickguard (Here you can see that the rest of the guitar with the headstock clearly visible: Image).

Harry has been seen in photographs with his White Falcon in various photos since 2010 (Image). Although he has never been seen playing the guitar live, he used it during the music video for "There Goes Our Love Again", as well as in promotional and studio photos. About it, Harry stated in a 2011 interview for Grestch News: "I have a White Falcon, and it’s one of the best looking guitars ever".
