I know a guy that knows Toni Leno; he just recorded a CD with him. I’ll see what I can find out.

Where I found this pic while searching for old drums - it said that the drummer had wolf furcoat on first song.

Is that cool ? Or not ?

Cool as hell as far as I'm concerned - kiitos

That Guild went through some iterations in Tomi Leino's hands...
Has a metal TRC, so is most probably a 60's Slim Jim T-100.

Here in April 2022 when he had added black P-90 style pickups:

6 years ago with the old Harmony P-13 pickups (and still correctly oriented TRC...):

@Nuuska , when we last visited Finland, December of '85, I bought my wife a fur hat that we were told was wolf in the
big tori by the harbor in Helsinki. I got myself a "trooper" style hat that we were told was "Nutira" (a Brazilian rodent in Finland?)
and my three year old daughter one of those white synthetic fur hats with the tail off the back that was so popular (there) back then.
I almost gave us away at US Customs coming back, as wolf was embargoed and not allowed to be imported into the US...we did not know!
We called them "fur hats," Sonja was wearing hers and she looked cute, and we got through our customs without any trouble...whew! 🤫

i guess it started life as a 59-63 T-100/SFI , not a D or II ?
and somebody added a bridge pickup and a toggle for it.

i wonder if it's wired volume for each pickup, or volume and tone shared for them both?

****edit*** i realize the OP addressed these points.i just like it!

@Harp Tail , at first I thought you were asking (or saying) that you were pregnant, and then
perhaps you were asking me to make love o_O

As you see, my Finnish is poor to non-existant...mostly the latter...but I now understand that
you love Finland (y) ...and that, @Nuuska , is without asking Sirkku!

I'm glad if I amused you. I've been to Finland a number of times - even in winter - but well over thirty years ago.

Suomalainen is a very challenging idiom, but I was nonetheless able to pick up a few words and colloquial phrases. Had you spent New Year's Eve on Esplanadi Katu in Helsinki as I did back in 1985, you would have learned how to wish "hyvää uutta vuotta" yourself.

I obviously don't get many opportunities to practice what little Finnish I know, so I jumped on this one.
And I always thought fur coats look quite appropriate on musicians - check with Miles Davis or Gregg Allman..

Nakemiin Suomessa!

Really dig the tone on that I'm Gonna Quit You Baby performance, so nice in a live setting to be able to hear close-miced like that. Great sound on those P-13s.
