NIgel Tufnel

"I've got the Gold Top, 1955, completely original with the soap bar pickups. A lot of people have put humbuckers in and I said I don't want to do that because the value of the guitar goes down, plus there's something about the soap bar, even though it's a bit raunchy and noisy, that I like. I like that sound. It's a very characteristic sound and I said I didn't want to change it."

"Jeff Beck gave me one of his new Strats and it's a lovely guitar. But it's got a huge neck on it. I say. 'Jeff, who's supposed to be playing this, three people?' And he says, 'Nige, are you a woman?' I say, 'No' and he says, 'Belt up then.'"

"It is a fully functional working instrument personally used by Nigel Tufnel during some of Spinal Tap's most memorable tours....This guitar was Nigel's mainstay for many European shows."

"I've got a '58 Junior that I've had for about twenty years."

"When he came out on stage on the 2001 reunion tour at the House of Blues in Las Vegas with this guitar, I said I have to get one of those..."

"...on 1967's "Rainy Day Sun" he played a Hofner Verythin through a Vox AC-30."

Nigel Tufnel is seen playing an Ernie Ball Music Man EVH model guitar, identifiable by Eddie Van Halen's signature on the headstock and the pickup switch placement, which matches Van Halen's design.
