Shads with Semi-Hollow Guitars?

[David Martin]

I believe the guitar that Bruce is holding in Donna's original posting is a Grimshaw... somewhere there are pics of him playing it live.

(Ooops... wrong... see that guitar here... http://grimshawguitars.co.uk/gallery/players/)

Maybe this Hofner...http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/gallery/archtops2/arch55.html

The guitar that Bruce is playing, I'm sure (if memory serves) that there's a publicity shot of Cliff strumming that particular guitar.

Rob

It's certainly very similar in style, but Bruce's guitar has the narrow triangular pickguard and doesn't feature the block fingerboard inlays. It would be interesting to know what make Cliff's is, though.

Cliff`s guitar must be a Hopf archtop guitar with cats eye soundholes. Look for a similar for sale on eBay.uk right now.
