MK and DS pictures

[JF]

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

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

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

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 

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.

Do you mean that Hal Lindes is playing a Telecaster?

For me it's quite clear that MK is playing a Schecter Strat.

MK is playing a strat, you can tell by the headstock.

Hal is hard to tell.

[Eddie Fox]

Mark is playing a strat, you can tell by the back plate. As for Hal that’s certainly not a strat, the strap button gives it away.

Brunno Nunnes got the answer :

" I just checked. I believe that the photos that I published in October of last year give us some clues, we see that there is a photo of John without a jacket in Industrial Disease, so I believe that the photo in question must be SOS, Hal seems to be with his Telecaster."

Thanks Brunno 

on the picture in color, mark's guitar looks black, but I guess it's the lightning

MK played a black Stratocaster (or was it Schecter too?) on Portobello Belle.

yes indeed. it was a Fender

https://www.mk-guitar.com/2016/02/27/the-black-fender-strat-on-portobello-belle-on-the-love-over-gold-tour/

but it had a capo. And there's no capo on the picture
as Brunno said on FB, it must be lightning
and Hal's Guitar looks very much like tele. and as fa as I know he only played it on Sultans. I don't know what guitar he played on PB, but listening to his solo, it doesn't sound Tele

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

And outstanding it is!!

Like to see him try that now.  I think Richard and Glenn would need to help him back up again!   

[Skinny Kid]

I meant Hal's guitar, not MK's !

Thanks for your welcome.
