Yes, I've wondered about that, too. That black beauty looks like a fantastic guitar, but he didn't use it very often (Ferry Aid/ Let it be and Willy deVille / Storybook Love are the only recordings I can think of right now). I wonder why he didn't like it so much. Any ideas?

And you can watch him play it at the Notting Hillbillies Snape gig on YouTube of course, as you probably know. Sheer beauty!

LE

he also used it on Vic and Ray (both studio an live)

You're right!
The guitar seems to have a twin sister, in "Porsche purple", which belonged to Jeff Williams. The colour would've looked nice with MK, too!
