Leslie West

"I have two: an SG Junior and a Les Paul Junior. I gave a ‘57 Junior to Pete Townshend years ago and I think his brother Simon has it now. I gave another one to a friend of mine. I tried a double cut Junior once, but it kept going flat and sharp in my hands because the neck moved around too much, so I stayed with the single cutaway models."

In the beginning of the vid, West talks about the guitars that he was using at that time and mentions that he uses a Steinberger.

There’s also a video from the same show of “Theme for an Imaginary Western” where he plays the same guitar.
