Hey, that's not the guitar you normally play.

He buffed up about ten-plus years ago.

 

Maybe in his professional wrestling era.  Even the script writers have to be massive.

 

At the the http://dozin.com/jers/guitar/history.htm site it states:  "March and April (1971) Jer switches to a custom built guitar. Said to be a Alembic project" It looks like it is a Guild or Gibson, though.

 

That's definitely a Gibson neck.  It looks to me like a Les Paul with a reshaped body.

And the quintessential Tele slinger, James Burton, playing a STRAT?!

^Fucking sacrilege, James.

 

 

What does Curt normally play? I've never seen them, unfortunately.

Curt normally plays a Les Paul.

At a second glance, that looks to be a JAZZMASTER! Or a 3-pickup Jaguar?!?!

Pittsburgh - 2003 my first Wilco show.

Where is my Jeff Tweedy playing a flying V in 2003 picture when I need it?

The Flying V that SRV is holding is probably Albert King's guitar.

Wish there was a pic, but Taj Mahal played bass  for a very short stint in '74 in a J Garcia band configuration (Great American String Band, that also featured David Grisman). I've never seen a pic, but if anyone has a pic I'd love to see it.

Curt Kirkwood plays that green Strat pretty often, actually. The Les Paul is his main guitar but the Start gets a lot of use, too.

 

I saw him play a white Flying-V for one song, once.
