Gatemouth Brown on a Rickenbacker guitar

I could be wrong but I think that's a Capri 345 and judging from the gold pickguard and the deep body a very early one.

Surprising how strat-like it sounds.

Not to me it's not Wouter. Aitch can vouch for the sound of my 360/V64. It too is surprising in the sense of "how strat-like it sounds". Image

It's an Esquire rather than a Tele, correct?

Both guitars would be worth a pile of coin now, not to mention the arctic white P bass.

Cool version of that song, too.

Its nice to see Gatemouth Brown playing a Rick, especially since he was known for playing a Gibson Firebird. That man is probably the most criminally underrated guitarist ever. If you don't believe me, go on YouTube and watch some more of his video clips.
