Is This A Guild?

[Bill Ashton]

...the sideman comes in with a solo at about 7:00, is this a Guild...I am thinking Brian Setzer thingy?



Poor Maria Fredriksson, she was probably a few years into chemo at this point, but didn't seem to affect her voice...

The 'Brian Setzer thingy' is a Gretsch I think.

Guild Brian Setzer Bluesbird | GAD's Ramblings

It’s no secret that Brian Setzer is one of my favorite guitarists, and when I learned that he had a signature (sort of) Guild Bluesbird, well, I had to have one. This 1986 Guild Bluesbird (which, though I call it a Setzer, doesn’t say Setzer anywhere on it) is a pretty unique instrument in the...

I think I know what Bill Ashton means - the red guitar playing the solo looks somehow like a Brian Setzer Bluesbird, but it's got different pickups and a three on a side headstock, unlike the actual Guild model.

The Setzer BB also had a bound board and block inlays.

@Bill Ashton: Jonas Isacsson's guitar in question was made by the late Arne Arvidson, who was a Swedish guitar builder, guitarist and composer. (name and double "A" logo on headstock)



Definitely some similiarities to the Setzer Guild Bluesbird (small picture).

@SFIV1967 , thank you so much for salvaging my self esteem!

I had gone down a YouTube internet "wormhole" and stumbled upon this, the player seemed to be a consistant player in Roxette's road band, when they used an extra guitarist.

Appreciate the info!
