I once made a flying V for myself with the Jazz pickups (bridge and neck), and that was exactly the Michael Schenker tone. I love this man, he influenced me more than any other player. Too bad I just can't gel with the V.

So glad he came back with Cozy and Chris, and his own material, and was the deserved darling of the festival scene.
I do remember seeing just the 4-piece UFO live on The Old Grey Whistle Test, when Micheal used the white V, and that was a real treat. Great sound and playing - riding his volume carefully, and at the same time - letting us have it all.
I couldn’t find that clip, but he was truly at his best.

This is where he belonged.
Cozy totally locked-in from bar 1.
Chris Glen walking it.
Paul Raymond’s young energy.
Well done Micheal.

Saw Michael on the UFO years tour last year, phenomenal as always

My Budokan cost half that!

 

[jeremy]

if it came out today, it would be way more than you paid back then.

 

[Binnerscot]

I could hand whittle one and it'd cost less

 

[Aceman]

~$400 all-n: Guitar, Dean Lights Out pickups, And leather Dean Strap.

Hasn't been for awhile, I think. But like Ace said, you can get your MS fix getting a Dean at 1/32 of the cost of the Gibson. I don't think he ever had much brand loyalty, really. Just whomever would produce his design.

1. Gibson wouldn't;t touch him for decades
2. Eliot brought him back from the dead and kept him sober.
3. Gibson is just collecting artists as part of their D-baggery style campaign to sell stupid expensive guitars.


Which brings us back to where the thread started.

I love a good Les Paul / SG, but man alive is Gibson an annoying company

I dread to think what that Budokan would set you back now.

Saw him last year with UFO and the year before doing the MSG tour, absolute perfection both times…. Unbelievably so.
