sparquelito Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I have seen Jeff Lynne (of ELO and Traveling Wilburys fame) playing a lot of guitars over the years. Usually a goldtop Les Paul or a Telecaster. But this series of photos, taken in 1973 at a concert in Trafalgar Square, show him playing a chrome-body double cutaway Tele-shaped guitar, with dual humbuckers, maple fingerboard, and an overall Les Paul electronics configuration. I can't make out the shape of the headstock. I'm really curious, but can't find out any information. Have any of you seen such a thing before?😐 🤫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 I found another photo. VERY unusual v-shaped headstock! Sort of. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Yes it's a Veleno - now very rare and sought after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Well there it is. Thank you, ksdaddy and jdgm. I was wracking my brain over this one. It seems like that all-aluminum construction wouldn't be very much fun at a chilly outdoor gig. 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
