Marc Ford's in the above clip guitar looks like a Hofner with Firebird style mini-humbuckers. Nice tone, Neil Young-ish  :)

Speaking of Neil Young,

I saw him play at the Big Day Out in Australia this year. Amazing stuff.

There's a comment below the vid that says that Marc Ford is Robben Fords brother, that's not true is it?

I must say that those Abraxas sound mighty intriguing and this review makes me wish I had a pair, but then again every review of BKPs makes me wish a had a pair and I don't even have enough guitars to fit'em in.

Robben has a brother called Mark who played harmonica in his first band. This maybe the source of the confusion  :)

No, they're not, that's the point!  :lol:

Mark Ford is Robben Ford's brother.  Marc Ford isn't.
