    It would be a failure if everyone liked it.

    It's better than the finish on his face.
    WTF's going on with that man's face?

    Kind of reminds me of Tibetan thanka painting technique for clouds.

    Hopefully I'll see it at the Roundhouse on Friday.

    I think it looks cool.

    Certainly looks more in keeping with the image than a poxy sunburst

    It's what happens when you reach 75 years old.... you know, wrinkles and stuff, and there's no need to shave and impress the groupies ... but kudos to Brock, because I've heard Francis Rossi complain like a trooper it's getting harder to tour/play live, yet he's only 67.

    I prefer what Brock's got on the stand behind him ... a Gibson Nighthawk re-issue. He's been known to play near anything and just gets on with it. Sometimes that's how I think it should be, although I appreciate what we play can be dictated by the £££ we have available, or what won't get damaged in a live band situation.

    But back to the guitar in the photo, the LP's appearance is hampered by the lighting. It looks like is has the 'spaghetti-sauce' finish made famous by Heinz?

    I'm resurrecting this old thread as I noticed Dave Brock using another 'new' guitar alongside the 'tie dye' Les Paul pictured above during the RAH gig on Friday. I don't recognise it - can anybody shed any light?

    Forget the guitar and Brock's dial - I couldn't tear my eyes away from his piggin' sandals.

    Hmmm? Good call but I can't find anything online that quite matches that headstock and logo position.

    Pretty sure it is a Fernandes.  No idea what the model would be.

    That’s definitely a Fernandes, you can see the Sustainer logo on the neck pickup too. It looks like a Revolver Pro, an older one with the non reverse headstock

    Couldn't care less about the guitar finish, Dave's face or his sandal crimes against public decency. I'm more impressed by the lesser spotted Gibson Nighthawk in the background  B)

    Shit, I didn't even notice.  Never mind us, I hope Dave Brock is doing well, given the state of him back in 2017.

    The guitar in the OP doesn't look like a Fernandes to me, especially a Revolver Pro - they are double cut Strat shape all the ones that I have played or seen, and the only Fernandes that I can think of that is the same shape as an LP is the Fernandes Monterey Elite, and they have a different knob layout not to mention dot inlays instead of block inlays.

    The one in the OP's a Les Paul.  The Fernandes is further down the page.

    That'd be an Ibanez Artist at that time.
