I always liked that video, cool gear and Bun E.'s playing his kit backwards! Too bad it's a **** song with too much DX-7. At least the band's sense of humor was in place!route66guitars wrote:Here’s a link to the video for Wherever Would I Be by Cheap Trick.

Robin is using McGuinn’s 341-12SF light show.
When I had mine restored, I went with HB-1 pickups, to make up for the lack of a (wooden) soundboard. I still had to put a .0047 on the bridge pickup to put some crispness back, and I have to turn my amp up slightly when using the guitar, but after that it kind of roars.jfine wrote:Interesting! First time I've ever seen one of those in use. I always thought those were a silly gimmick, but the tone was actually quite good. Who'd have thought that a guitar with a plexiglass top and a bunch of lights inside could sound that good!
Wouldn't mind trying some original Mach I Hi-Gains in it, if i can find some.
