Setzer rules! But he was so skinny in the early days, and now...

...he looks healthy. It happens to all of us. Doesn't it?

He's knocking on a bit now surely? Would love to hear how he sounds on that 12!

He's always been one of my favorite guitarists, I'd love to have just a tiny bit of his talent

Does anyone have any idea what he is playing on a Rick 12? From what I've heard of B Setzer, his music is not what you would expect to hear on a 12 string. Does he have some new material out in a different style? Or is this merely a "photo opportunity," perhaps during a sound check.

Apparently this is from a performance in Japan, and I'd love to hear what the heck the song sounds like!

Those Japanese do love their Ricks. Wonder if that had something to do with it. Hopefully this was not just a fluke!

If anyone out there has Brian Setzer's latest CD "13" there's a tune called "Mini Bar Blues." It's an instrumental, and I'm thinking it might have been played on a Ric. If so, its one of the coolest solos I've ever heard on a Ric 12.
