425 probably. Possibly a late 900.

Does it look like a humbucker (non-Rick) on that 425?

Awful, just awful. Someone please take that Rick away from her and send her to bed without any supper.

I lasted about 20 seconds; I just could not take any more. Does it get better after that ?????

yup...certainly not ready for prime time. They might start looking for better songwriters, too.

Worse than awful. She deserves to be spanked for that performance. I volunteer.

My college band used to play 'Pain In My Heart' and it sounded a hell of a lot better than that ear twister.

No!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, sure does show the "potential" of a Rickenbacker in the hands of, well just about anybody, really.

That little Marshall amp behind Kat looks just like mine.

Hmmmm! Well it is a nice guitar. The song done well can be pretty cool IMO. Her rendition? It should have been called "Pain In My Ears" I am afraid.

Painful as it was, I actually watched that whole thing. Amazing. Makes me think that she could have gone on stage and do nothing (which in a sense she did) and the crowd would still have STILL cheered.

Why is that? Why is it that some audiences will cheer and applaud for the WORST stuff in history. The answer is that they THINK they are supposed to because they THINK that the "star" must be playing something good or else they wouldn't be a "star" and if they as the consumer called a spade a spade then there must be something wrong with THEM, not something wrong with the doo-doo being played on stage.

It's the same old story repeated over and over. Ringo addressed this issue once in an interview when he described some of his post-Beatle concerts: "I'm sitting there playing the biggest load of stuff and people are cheering!". Exactly. Why did they cheer? Because he's a Beatle and after all a Beatle cant play anything bad, right?

Compare that Babes in Toyland self-indulgent sillyness with the real deal and the gap in talent is staggering ... Otis was THE MAN.
