Thanks a lot, very quick!

Nope, sorry, that is not correct. Look at the tailpiece, etc. It's not very close actually.

You're right again Girl. I stand corrected.

The one on the photo is a single pickup. The tailpiece looks like the ones on a Synchromatic. There is no pickup selector switch on the bass horn. The controls appear to be on the pickguard. Who is the guitar player?

Definitely the syncromatic.

It IS a G100

synchro for sure

Can you play these guitars like a regular acoustic or is that just stupid. Because I think this is a beautiful guitar and always wanted one but there is no where around me that I could play one. And all the online demos people are playing jazz.

I think you will find that arch-top jazz style guitars are generally smoother sounding and often don't project like a flat-top. The pickups are usually neck only so they don't have as much treble like a lead player would want.

Of course you can always mod one. My Epi was born with a single floating neck pickup and now it is a rockabilly monster!

The guitar player is "the tallest man on earth" my favourite artist at the moment and said to be the next Dylan... He also has a beautiful Grestch Firebird, lucky guy!
