Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

Anyone knows what's the bridge pickup of the silverburst Lado (the Grey Lady)? I don't think it is a Super Distortion since the grey lady's bridge pickup has screw polepieces, but I know the bridge pickup on the black Lado is a Super Distortion.

A Japanese Alnico 5 from the 80s or a Gibson Dirty Fingers. It's an Alnico humbucker for sure. That's why Adrian says it sounds fatter than the Super Distortion in the black one.

It was destroyed. But Guyton saved it as most importantly, the neck seemingly wasn't damage.

If the neck was in the water, it would likely be unsalvageble, as it's a set neck. Needless to say that the work was done by Andrew Guyton, who is looking after one of the two most priceless electric guitars ever, The Red Special. So, if he wasn't able to do it, noone would be.

When the last photosof it surfaced, it was in Adrian's studio at home. As Adrian said, covered in green flood damage. But it seems like only the bottom half of the body was in water. And the pickup was repairable.

Dave's black strat now has a black Seymour Duncan JB Junior in middle position? I saw a picture on instagram of Dave during the Birmingham perfomance with that guitar and the middle pickup looks like it...

Dave's Hicks Strat also has a name. It's called Walnut.

I don't know if I'd look that far into it to be honest. It has a walnut neck, so just an easy way to differentiate which guitar is which.. and for Colin, which guitar for which song on the setlist. I'd like to think they would come up with a more imaginative name than Walnut haha

fun fact - I talked to Andy Hicks about Davey's guitar myself recently, and asked him the reason behind going for a walnut neck. Davey has/had another guitar (unsure if it was a strat, or something else random) that had a Walnut neck on it and he loved it. I wonder what that could have been. Maybe an acoustic??

Could be. But the neck on walnut is a direct copy of the California Series Strat neck. Just made out of different material.

I'd say Walnut is a nickname. Otherwise, it would just be called "White" or something like that.

Oh I think the shape of the neck would be a copy for sure, Davey would have his preference for that. I just mean maybe the material and the feel of it. As far as I can tell, its unfinished (or maybe a satin finish).

Maybe - does he not have another white one out as well? I mean yes it is sort of a nickname, but more out of just necessity for identifying guitars quickly, Colin might have just named it 'Walnut' to differentiate between other white guitars

The only other white guitar this year is the Birthday Strat.

California Series and both FR classics were simply referred to as Tobacco, Cream and Black.

What I find kinda funny is Adrian’s setlist, I saw it on the TFPT rig video, and the guitars (green Jackson and 8431 Jackson) are just EJ and DJ, referring to the tunings of them
