Kink-y Guild

[AcornHouse]

From a 1965 concert in Paris, Dave Davies is playing a Guild, but hard to tell which model. Thinline, Venetian cutaway (so, not a Starfire), with fancy inlay and a Guildsby. Which leads me to think Duane Eddy, although you experts on that model will need to tell which one.

I don't know the model, but that's a great clip!

Looks like a DE-500 to me.

Dave also had a Starfire III.

Great early video! Kinks mid 1970’s, 2000 seat venue, 10th row center, was by far the loudest concert I’ve been to, and one of the greatest. I’m convinced that one show caused permanent hearing damage. Young and foolish.

DE-500 with DeArmond's.
Definitely has the grunge R-n-R sound that the early Kinks had on their recordings.

No, it's a DE-500 with the small humbuckers. That's the one they lost on their U.S. tour and consequently Dave had to buy another guitar; that's how he ended up with the Gibson Flying V.

I posted about that guitar several times, so if you do a search!

Bravo! Denis Glaser was the coolest lady on French TV. She had the looks, the wit, her interviews (e.g with Serge Gainsbourg!!) were stunning. High-class 60es , ze French quality...
Anyway, one or two things:- the audience was seated! -Frilled collars!- Ricky bass held right up under the chin!-A pretty messy performance ,I love the Kinks for that! (+ I always thought "I can do it !")
- A bunch of Jean-Luc Godard lookalikes,with sunglasses, or is it just me?
-3 years later , they'd all be throwing rocks at cops (Yeah, Rock'n'roll leads to decadence!)Thanks for this vid!

Question: is there a thread on "famous stolen or lost guitars"? Is there a "cold guitar-case" squad that tracks them? "Come on, man , I know it was you stole that Dave Davies Guild! We got your fingerprints all over this upside-down TRC ! It's been 57 years now, but, Guild-theft is imprescriptible! "

Not that I remember. I recall discussions about Peter Frampton, Jack Casady and someone else (Randy Bachman?) being reunited with stolen instruments but only Casady's was a Guild.

We also do not have a thread listing stolen instruments that owners are trying to recover. There have not been many listings - one or two per year - and if we don't have such a thread then we do not have to ask whether LTG management has any legal or moral obligation to confirm the facts of the theft.

There is a website. No idea how active or accurate it is: https://stolenmusicalinstruments.com/

Now that is rock 'n' roll.
Drawing a line in the sand by starting with Chuck Berry Bye Bye Johnny, and going from there.
Great clip!

Randy Bachman's was I believe a Gretsch found in Japan and he bought the fellow who had it(not the original thief) another of the same model to replace it, as I recall reading the story a couple of times.

Thanks for Dave Davies and The Kinks
