Later with Jools Holland

Now, is that an Electro Spanish bakelite??? (2:25 on good view)

It sure looks similar, although none of the photos I can find on Google have two knobs on the same side of the body in the position seen here. I have no idea what else it could be.

Spme of the hawaiian bakelites pre-war had two knobs on the same side. I once found an image of a spanish bakelite with the same configuration. It can also be they converted a one-knob spanish bakelite into a two knob version, of course.

Another nice Later... video, with Rick content:

There is an article in the February '12 issue of Vintage Guitar about Sol Ho'opi'i and shows his B-6 with both knobs on the treble side of the body.

Isn't Sol's an Hawaiian with the horseshoe all the way at the end, as opposed to a Spanish bakelite which has the horseshoe more in the middle of the body?

Ahh, right you are. I just looked in the Smith book, Spanish bakelites have the knobs on either side of the body, whereas Hawaiians (guitars, not people! ) have both knobs on the same side of the body.

Right after I got HD service from Dish Network I could watch Later with Jools Holland on a channel called Rave. It was a music channel that played a great variety of music and styles. The channel was dropped from the lineup about a year later. I thought it was a really good show.

I was watching "Later" at 6:00 AM until a couple of months ago and sadly, it is not on anymore. You're right, a great variety show of current entertainers.
