* Graham Coxon (Blur)
* Danny Bonaduce
* Eric Burdon
* David Byrne
* Kurt Cobain

I think some people will get a funny on this. But also provides some other info, I think they got it mixed up, because his guitarist used a jazzmaster. But I don't think any one could get a JM and a Mustang mixed up.

Here he is with a coronado or whatever that semi hollow fender is with the weird headstock.

WTF

That's a Hagstrom, a Viking, I think.

Yes, it's a Hagstrom Viking Deluxe, they only made them in 67 and 68, here's mine

Fender made a few hollow bodies, the Coronado, the Starcaster, and one single pick up archtop.

I know he plays a Jaguar in one movie and a Coronado in another. I wouldn't be surprised if he held a mustang for a song-and-dance number.

yeah, my girlfriend has an LP with him holding a coronado on the back. soundtrack from one of his hawaiian ones, possibly, would have to investigate...

Thats his Hagstrom Viking II.
