On the pic from Hilversum studios 1978 theres a few various suprises, A Rickenbacker, theres 2 Flying V's, a Coral Sitar I think is on there too!!!
Hi danielquo, In that pic at Wisseloord studio 2 in addition to the guitars of Francis, Richard and Alan we set up all of Pip's guitars that he had with him at the time. Thats why you will see a few surprises such as Pips coral sitar and ricky not normally seen with the band.Richard did have a Flying 'V' that he didn't play much, probably due to it not being the best guitar for the tramlines and so I had loan of it for a while. Did many solos with Francis's "V" though which after old faithful I really loved the sound of for solo's. Brilliant tone and sustain
My dream for the end of Quo - to see every member of the band past and present on the same stage at the last ever gig. As the encore ends, they all stand on the stage in the "Tank" formation with teles playing Rick's intro to Caroline as the stage sinks from view in dry ice .
