Tim Christensen

Post by Grey »

Posting this because he's been playing one of my favourite guitars, the 480, for an extended part of his career. I think Sergio Pizzorno of Kasabian said he was the first artist to use this guitar but Tim pre-dates him in its use. He's played two models over the years, early on he used a rare White/BT model.(Black pickguard and 'inverted' TRC) and later on he's been using a JetGlo model. Both have been modded with a 5th knob which I assume is a master volume or 'blend' knob.

Here's some pictures of his older White model, which he used between the late 90's-2005 along with a video of it in action.

And here's a picture of the JetGlo, which he started using around 2004-2005 right as he stopped using the white one, along with a video of him playing it at the DMA awards.
