MK and DS pictures

[Vesper]

Lovely to see MK again looking well.   Is this a recent picture?

According to the maker of the sculptures, it is.

Seems to be a wah close to the volume pedal. But at this time, it never rains wasn’t no more in the setlist 🤔 could it be for industrial disease ? 🤔 can’t think to other songs that needs a wah during this tour

MK usually did that thing, knee on the floor, at the end of Tunnel of love.

I thought the LOG-tour was the first to feature a custom Pete Cornish footboard, and everything was wired using effect loops (send/returns). So it shouldn't have been too hard to get rid of it. Industrial Disease features a wah-kind of sound as well, more a fixed position like MFN.

I'd rather bet it's during Sultans, because Hal seems to have the Tele on this pic. not sure though

at the end of TOL, Mark had both knees on the floor

his attitude on this pic looks more like the one in Sultans at 9:14

But I may be wrong, because usually (?) John still wears his jacket on sultans, and he doesn't on the pic

we should have it in colour to see the color of the guitar

I see that the wah is still here on the Alchemy video, so I think that your argument is right

The guitar MK has looks like a schecter, and in Industrial disease he used the erlewine.

Hey there,

Even in black and white, it's pretty obvious to me that it's a telecaster.

Just compare the color of the strap on it and that of his pants and arms.
Telecasters are also thicker than strats ...


Thanks for sharing this picture. It's a pretty nice one.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.


I'm afraid you're mistaken here. It's the Schecter Strat. Look at the white plate covering the tremolo cavity on the back and where the jack on the guitar lead goes.
