I was looking for that photo of Norah but couldn't find it. Thanks for posting it!

Is there a photo out there of Keith with his two pick-up M-65 that he played Satisfaction on?

Hey Grot, happy to oblige! Just wish I could find a bigger one.

And we have Steve Marker from the alternative rock band Garbage:

"Steve's main guitar is a Guild BluesBird. He tends to play the black guitar for a majority of the set.
Occasionally changing to the sunburst AAA model.
Steve's black bluesbird was tuned to A440 and the burst bluesbird was tuned to either F or D#."

"About half way through the Beautiful Garbage tour Steve was sporting a sparkely Guild Bluesbird."
"It is a "Guild (Fender) CUSTOM SHOP" guitar. It was made especially for Steve.
It is a "Simpler Version" of the Standard Guild Bluesbird.
With a flashy blue sparkle paint job. The guitar has a few different features."

In this video of Garbage both guitarists play a Guild, Steve Marker plays the black Bluesbird mentioned in the post before and Duke Erikson plays a red Starfire III, cool, isn't it?

Here are different pictures of Garbage's Duke Erikson with his various Starfire III:

I ran a coffeehouse for a while towards the end of the 20th century. We booked Steve Gillette
and Cindy Mangsen a couple of times. Great people, fine musicians - and Steve is a fabulous
songwriter. His F-50 has been on the road for years, and it sounds great!

To my delight, the road brought Steve here a few years ago in a small, intimate venue and he and his guitar were fantastic!
He produces a unique sound with his playing and singing.

Put me down as a Gillette fan! :wink:

Guitarshaman made mention of her in a long-ago post, but Christy Hunt of the Minneapolis indie band Pink Mink plays a Guild S-90.

To hear her in action, go to this link and click on either "Black Door" or "Earthquake on the Loose."

Sara Hickman, a criminally under-known artist.

This is from her website, but it's in the sleeve of her album "Shortstop" which has a better picture of the guitar on the cover, but I've always loved this particular shot.

Here's the cover...
