Lindsay Buckingham and a Gretsch

Great video, like Lindsay always said, he was a glorified banjo picker, he said when he joined Fleetwood Mac, he struggled using a guitar pick, that drew some irritation from the group.
We met him back stage for a meet and great, he was very humble, and honestly didn't believe that he was a good guitarist. We loved his talent and ability to be humble. Thanks for sharing that!

Yes, thanks for sharing. I’ve always admired his picking style.
Mick looks very relaxed.

Love the guitar. That's not something Peter Green would put out, I'm comfortable in saying.

A quick glimpse of the beautiful and talented Christine. Ah youth!

Highly doubt that was a live recording. More likely a lip sync job so many of those shows used to do. There's a guitar lead filler running during the coda that appears out of nowhere that doesn't match his finger's action on the fretboard. The Gretsch may just as well be a prop handed to him as one of his own. Either way it's a rather fabulous Gretsch at that.

Not the usual Rick Turner of the time. Yes, a nice Gretsch.
