What guitar is Todd playing here?

[Aceman]

I know I said no more guitars - but I do have a few on the "exception" list...and the wife knows this! (Also a gun or two)

This Backlund is one of them.

I like the one Todd has, with the single-coil neck. But I think my guitar buying days are over. Maybe.

That is one wide single coil!

There doesn't seem to be much info, other than to say it's a custom wound blade.

I found where they were made by Vintage Vibe. https://www.bennettmusiclabs.com/jbd-100-models

I actually really like the design on that one. It's not something I'd buy, but I think it looks cool as hell.

I just hate it when guitar designers/manufactures move the bridge pickup's position so far from the bridge itself.

Thanks. Love that color. A little out of my price range.

Yours I assume? Woah. Has a hot rod muscle car look. Like what Kustom attempted with the Tuck ‘n’ Roll much less successfully.

I have a memory of T. Rex, doing "Get it On (Bang a Gong)", in front of a wall of those amps. But I can't find a pic or vid to support that. Then again, I was around 13 - 14 at the time.

Plush amps had the same vinyl-upholstered look, only with button tufting instead of the rolls.
When I saw Jeff Beck in '75 (the Blow By Blow tour) he was running two Marshall heads through two blue metallic padded 4x12 cabs.
90% sure they were Plush - haven't seen any other amps with that type of padded covering.

The 7-string version of the Hot Rails could accommodate an angle close to that in a similar styled guitar.

 

[Aceman]

Eww, don't dig that at all.

They are probably all too heavy for you anyway, with all those metal parts/plates. LOL

Probably, I'd never play it.
