Guild Sighting: David Byrne on a Guild A/E!

[Jahn]

Hmm what model is this one?

And I love how all my new wave idols are turning to Guild acoustics now that they are older and wiser!

Oooh, I've never seen him with that one before!! I thought this was gonna be another one of the "Stop Making Sense" sightings. ("Psycho Killer" is one of my faves)
I'm thinking it must be an F4ce or an F15ce due to no G-shield or chesterfield on the headstock. As far as I know those are the only 2 concert-body a/e's that had plain headstocks.
I lean towards F4ce only because they're a lot more common going by the reports of purchases here. I can't even remember anybody ever reporting seeing or buying an F15ce. Due to the angle of the shot I can't tell exactly where the fretboard's joining the body, but later "longscale" Fxxce's joined right at the 15th fret (and that's what it looks like) and if it's a "long scale" that might even rule out the F15?

:wink:

Great clip! And a great sounding guitar! Byrne is one of the "quirkiest" musicians out there - always interesting and entertaining...

We had discussed his F15ce guitar (with the changed preamp and the closed old holes as visible in the second picture) in another thread already, but some time ago: http://www.letstalkguild.com/ltg/showthread.php?170186-Guild-Sighting-Talking-Heads
