Lindsey Buckingham

In this picture, one can see Lindsey Buckingham playing a Stratocaster fitted with a Alembic Blaster (Could be the 59 Strat Ken's talking about, but appears to have a 65 Stratocaster Neck) it was used for the Rumours Tour on "Over My Head" in Open-D, Buckingham has multiple Strats, in a Guitar Player Magazine from 1977 he mentions to have a 63 Hybrid Strat, which is a 1963 Hardtail Stratocaster Body, been refinshed Black and Buckingham has stripped the paint, and has a 1965 Fender Stratocaster Neck (also fitted with a Alembic Blaster), the 63 Hybrid Strat has probably been on every Mac Record that Buckingham has recorded on, Probably both of those Strats have been used on the Rumours Sessions, Buckingham has also been seen with a Natural Stratocaster on stage with Richard Dashut from 1984, as well as two White Stratocasters on the Say You Will Tour 03-04, it seems to be used on "Tusk", one of them has had a Roland Synth Pickup (GR50??), in the Video "Lindsey Buckingham - Solo Anthology Unboxing Video" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hDO0sCvFTY, Buckingham is seen with a Black Stratocaster Copy, a Sunburst Stratocaster also fitted with a Roland Pickup, and his 63 Hybrid Stratocaster

In the book "Making Rumours: The Inside Story of the Classic Fleetwood Mac Album" by Ken Caillat and Steve Stiefel, it is mentioned that Buckingham used Stratocasters during the recording of "Rumours". (page 70)

Then the fun began. All of the members of the band went out into the studio’s recording area on the other side of the large double-sided glass separating the control room from the studio, and sat down at their starting instruments: Mick with his eight-inch Ludwig snare, John with his Fender Bassman, and Christine at her Hammond B3 organ. Lindsey chose his 1959 Fender Stratocaster, and Stevie picked up her tambourine, festooned with long black ribbons.

Lindsey still brings out his #1 Turner Model One, as recalled on Premier Guitar.com, that he has used since the '70s (pictured), as well as two other Model Ones set up with different tunings, and backups for each. On the back of the guitar is a control to adjust the angle of the pickup, which is adjusted to the sweet spot then set. He uses Taylor 814 acoustics with Fishman Prefix electronics, as well as Renaissance nylon-strings, both baritone and regular, with Roland GK pickups to trigger a synth that he wasn't using on this tour. All of his guitars are tuned slightly differently (as detailed in the video), and each is set up for a song or songs with a specific strap length depending upon the difficulty of the song. Buckingham can also be seen using the Turner Model 1 Solid Body in the Equipboard profile picture.

In a 2011 interview with Guitar World, Buckingham talks about how he switched to Rick Turner guitars instead of Les Paul Customs and Stratocasters he played before.

Yeah. Before we joined Fleetwood Mac, I was been playing a Stratocaster as an electric guitar, and it was well-suited to my finger style. When we joined the band, they had a pre-existing sound that was rather fat. And it needed a fatter-sounding guitar. I started using a Les Paul, which was not particularly well-suited to the orchestral style of playing that I had. So at some point, after I had met Rick Turner, I asked him if he could design me something that had a fatter sound, something between a Les Paul and a Stratocaster, but that had the percussive elements that would respond well to my style. And that’s what he came up, and of course I have been using that model guitar for years and years now.

In this article, Lindsey Buckingham's story as a part of Fleetwood Mac is detailed. It says, "Buckingham acquired a white 1975 Les Paul 20th Anniversary reissue model as he joined the band, and it became his main electric guitar on stage. Based on the Les Paul Custom more than the original Les Paul Gold Top, Buckingham’s instrument had humbuckers and was gifted with superb clarity and punch, responding briskly to every nuance of his self-made finger-and-nail picking style."

In this picture Lindsey Buckingham can be seen playing a Gibson Chet Atkins. Like his other guitars, this guitar was heavily modified by Rick Turner, and inspired him to make the Renaissance line after Lindsey played it live during the "Out of the Cradle Tour" and everyone thought it was a stock Gibson (http://rickturnerguitars.com/stories-sun-lion). At 8:18 in this interview his guitar tech talks about this guitar. In 2011 Guitar World interview, he mentioned that this guitar was used on "Big Love" and "Go Insane".

In this image, Lindsey Buckingham is playing a Fender Telecaster. He is known to have a few Telecasters, including a distinctive blonde model with a mini humbucker in the middle, a humbucker at the neck, and a Tele single coil at the bridge. This guitar was prominently used during Fleetwood Mac's White Album sessions and tour, particularly for the song "Monday Morning," as noted by Ray Lindsey. Currently, this unique Telecaster, now in an Esquire configuration, is with Lindsey's son, Will. The pictured guitar is a 1952-54 Telecaster, which Buckingham played live from 1977-78 and in the studio, as documented in the Tusk documentary. Although claimed by Richard Dashut to be his, it appears in Buckingham's hands in a 2008 Guitar World DVD.

As published by Jason Shadrick from Premier Guitar, Buckingham uses Taylor 814 acoustics with Fishman Prefix electronics, as well as Renaissance nylon-strings, both baritone and regular, with Roland GK pickups to trigger a synth that he wasn't using on this tour. All of his guitars are tuned slightly differently (as detailed in the video), and each is set up for a song or songs with a specific strap length depending upon the difficulty of the song.

Lindsey Buckingham played a 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom, notably during the Rumours Tour in 1977. A user-uploaded photo on Tumblr shows a later replacement with different tuners and a slightly more tinted color, suggesting a mid-tour change.

In a user-uploaded photo on Tumblr, Lindsey Buckingham is seen playing a 1970s Dobro OM-1 "Redneck." The positioning of his fingers and the capo on the second fret suggest it may be the same guitar used on "The Chain."

Lindsey is playing a 12-String Alembic built by Rick Turner, the Body is made from Zebrawood, this guitar was used for Oh Daddy from Mid May 1977 to the end of the Tusk Tour 1980 and was tuned to D-G-D-F-A-C (the Tuning is not confirmed, i've been trying to find this tuning for a while now, the harmonics Buckingham plays on the 12th Fret can only really be played in D-G-D-F-A-C as well as the Chord in the Picture is a Dm in this Tuning, Ray Lindsey says it was in Drop-D but i think he is talking about The Dance Tour 97-98 when Buckingham played his Model One in Drop-D)

In 1978, Lindsey Buckingham was seen using a Gibson 1959 Les Paul Electric Guitar, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo on Tumblr.

In this picture, Lindsey Buckingham can be seen him playing a Gibson EDS-1275 Double Neck Electric Guitar. this guitar was used for Oh Daddy and Gold Dust Woman in 1977 (LIVE not studio) till 21st May 1977 in Nashville, Buckingham Replaced it with a Alembic Series 1 12-String made from Zebrawood built by Rick Turner, and Gold Dust Woman would be played on a Les Paul Custom, the Top 12-String was tuned D-G-D-F-A-C for Oh Daddy, and the Bottom 6-String was tuned Drop-D for Gold Dust Woman

Lindsey using a Rick Turner Model-27, it was used on "The Chain" for his Solo Tour 92-93

In this picture, Lindsey Buckingham can be seen playing an Asher Ultratone T Deluxe.

"You can't get away with anything with this guitar" - Lindsey Buckingham's tech Stanley Lamendola at 6:25.

at 3:45 into the video he is holding his vintage Martin D-18 Acoustic. Interview is shot in his studio

In this picture, Lindsey Buckingham can be seen playing a 1959 Early 1960 Gibson Les Paul TV Special Guitar. this guitar could of been used for Frozen Love on the 1975-1976 Tour

Lindsey playing his Ovation Balladeer, i think it's a 1621-4, it was used for Landslide for the White Album Tour 75-76, might even be the same guitar Ray Lindsey (his tech) used for Go Your Own Way, Gypsy, Second Hand News from 79-82

Lindsey Buckingham is seen using what appears to be a 1975 Gibson Les Paul Custom in black during the 1977 Rumours Tour, particularly on "Monday Morning." This guitar was later replaced by an early '50s Telecaster in Nashville the same year but continued to serve as a backup to a white Les Paul Custom until the tour concluded in November 1977. The image on Tumblr provides visual evidence of this usage.

A single-knob RN6 was used for "Bleed for Her Love" in The Dance (Buckingham can be seen first strapping on the guitar at 30:14) and is attested by Lemmo of Norman's Rare Guitars in this March 26, 2021 demo of another single-knob RN6 at 3:05.

First time I saw one of these was with Lindsey Buckingham, one of my favorite artists. I saw him in 2008 on, I believe it was the Gift of Screws tour and he played Berklee College of Music and I was a complete mess after the show, haha! It was so good! Just like, wow.
