Although I'm sure this is posted somewhere...

does anyone know what guitars Bobby plays?

Well, he always used to stick mostly to the Fender Stratocaster:

But here he's playing a Telecaster:

And this appears to be an Ibanez, but I'm not certain:

He's been playing the above guitar and this one alot recently, but I'm not sure I've ever seen this one before:

i know he plays an paul reed smith and a fender telecaster, strat...im also fairly certain that his 12 string and the slide guitar are fender products

I know he got a nice rickenbacker around the time PP came out or maybe it was for Trouble....

[chives]

pretty sure he plays a rickenbacker for "Something On"

That's a picture of the black one he's been playing, but there is also an identical looking white one. They definitely seem to be his favourite new guitars. One of the two seems to be featured in about 75% of the songs.

At the Mod Club, I was very close to him, and made a point to read the name of the manufacture on those guitars, but I promptly forgot! They've got a very small headstock, but otherwise they look quite similar to a Strat. I think they sound great, and I'd be interested to find out (again) who makes them. Does anyone know?

Okay, yeah that's right, clarke.....the Ibanez I mentioned is acutally a PRS (top-right corner):

He has a new contract with Music Man. I'm sure that's what they are.

He used to use his old 70's style Strat for Grace, Music, Use it Up and Goodlife uses one of the new guitars pictured above for most of those songs I think.
The others he uses are:
Fender Telecaster: Fireworks, Gift, Daddy, Cordelia, Wheat.
PRS: Fully, Springtime, IOD, Locked, New O, Meridian, Courage, Fire, 50MC.
Rickenbaker: Something, Vapour Trials.
Parker Fly (quite crazy looking): Escape.

Not sure how many songs he uses the new guitars for now, the PRS is his main rockin guitar. I used to be able guess which song was next by the combination of guitars being uses. Now it's tougher because of the new ones.
