sparquelito Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Does anybody have any idea what sort of guitar is being played (okay, video lip-synched-played) by the guitar player on stage right of this Sniff 'n' the Tears video? The guy might be Loz Netto, though he could be Mick Dyche. My vision is a bit off today due to allergies. The black guitar; What is it?😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) A Tele and an I don't know what the "f" it is. Edited November 14, 2020 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I'm familiar with the natural finish Tele being stroked by Paul Roberts. I'm really curious though about the black one over to his left rear (our right front). It's got f-holes, Les Paul style pickups and controls, split pickguards, and a shape like an Ibanez Talman, only decades before that guitar arrived. 🤨 Edited November 14, 2020 by sparquelito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Looks like it could be a Duesenberg, headstock shape and logo. Edited November 14, 2020 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought that at first too, but this video was filmed a few years before the first Duesenberg was made. Most vexing!😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I think Mr Dyche is rocking a Hayman with the cr@p modified out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right on the Hayman guitar bit. It looks like a modified version of a model 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Okay, I found the answer. Some guys on the TalkBass web forum were having the same discussion in 2012, and one of the fellows sent a message to Loz Netto, the guy playing the guitar in that video. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/any-idea-what-this-guitar-is.1927931/ Loz Netto responded:The guitar you refer to was an old Hayman body that I had a neck made for by Rob Armstrong, all the harware was Gibson including 1970's PAF pickups, it was a nice instrument but unfortunately got stolen while we were touring the U.S.A Ever since I've had a passion for putting together unusual guitars or buying interesting looking ones, So 'Scales was correct. It was a Hayman Thinline 2020, heavily modified. Here's an original, unaltered Hayman: Okay, I'm gonna shut up now. 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
