MK and DS pictures

[Jules]

Hey there,

Even in black and white, it's pretty obvious to me that it's a telecaster.

Just compare the color of the strap on it and that of his pants and arms.
Telecasters are also thicker than strats ...


Thanks for sharing this picture. It's a pretty nice one.

Do you mean that Hal Lindes is playing a Telecaster?

For me it's quite clear that MK is playing a Schecter Strat.

MK is playing a strat, you can tell by the headstock.

Hal is hard to tell.

[Eddie Fox]

Mark is playing a strat, you can tell by the back plate. As for Hal that’s certainly not a strat, the strap button gives it away.

Brunno Nunnes got the answer :

" I just checked. I believe that the photos that I published in October of last year give us some clues, we see that there is a photo of John without a jacket in Industrial Disease, so I believe that the photo in question must be SOS, Hal seems to be with his Telecaster."

Thanks Brunno 

on the picture in color, mark's guitar looks black, but I guess it's the lightning

MK played a black Stratocaster (or was it Schecter too?) on Portobello Belle.

yes indeed. it was a Fender

but it had a capo. And there's no capo on the picture
as Brunno said on FB, it must be lightning
and Hal's Guitar looks very much like tele. and as fa as I know he only played it on Sultans. I don't know what guitar he played on PB, but listening to his solo, it doesn't sound Tele

MK usually did that thing, knee on the floor, at the end of Tunnel of love.

And outstanding it is!!

Like to see him try that now.  I think Richard and Glenn would need to help him back up again!   

[Skinny Kid]

I meant Hal's guitar, not MK's !

Thanks for your welcome.

That has to be Hal's pink Telecaster. Not sure if he used it on this tour though

Or it is Hal's butterscotch blonde Telecaster as seen in the Alchemy video whilst playing Sultans and the lightning makes it look pink.

And for user "JF" It's not the same day as Alchemy because John is wearing a white shirt on this pic and a black one on Alchemy. MK's jacket is lightblue-ish on this pic an red on Alchemy etc.

+ I'm 99% sure this is the Sunburst Schecter Dream Machine because the black Strat for "Portobello Belle" is capo'ed on the 3rd fret.
I can't imagine the lightning making his Candy Apple Red Schecter look as black as John's bass.

Only song i could think of needing a wah on this tour is "Industrial Disease" and it's indeed in a fixed position like MFN (on the album at least, maybe MK used it for the end solo, who knows)

[Eddie Fox]

Perhaps Mark would drop the capo to play the final solo during PB. It’s pretty plausible since the capo would prevent him from accessing the whole fretboard.

[Eddie Fox]

Regarding the wah pedal, it’s just there. That only means he used it during the gig, not necessarily during the song in which the pic was taken.

two different Telecasters.
Hal talk about this pink one on his FB account :

of course I know it  I said the pic is from june 83 in Paris

I said the same about capo on the black strat 

during years I saw very strange colors on many pictures, due to the lightning

if it is the sunburst strat, then it's strange that Hal plays his telecaster... what song would it be ?

very strange to drop the capo during a song imho

of course. never said that.
I just noticed there was a wah pedal and that I was surprised because I thought it was only played on it never rains, and that song was dropped from the setlist at the time the pic was taken.
but indeed it may have been used on industrial disease
