Looks great, but they are rather heavy to carry.  :)

Ronnie looks rougher than Keef! I like the fact the gig tickets only cost £12  :)

It looks like it is. I'd like a really good hard tail strat.
I think I hate being indecisive.

Keith and Ronnie do have rather nice guitars at their disposal. But at those prices, I don't think I shall be going to see them being played. I shall wait for martin Scorcese's film.

I still like that Gibson ES-355 (if that's what it is...?) and (especially) Ronnie's hardtail Strat....

I'm with you Phil, they're two great looking guitars and I bet they sound as good too.

I sent a linky or two to the moderator  ;)

I've love the Gibbo - it looks well played and the gloss black/gold seems knackered.  Gorgeous  :)

I wondered what had happened!

I did a bit of research on the 355, for some reason I'd assumed it was something new-ish, but it's a real vintage model from '59:

i've always thought the Stones have a few absolute classic songs, and then a vast swathe of uninteresting blandness around them.  just my personal opinion :)  i do love a handful of their songs, but find i can't wade through any of their albums.

but they've always had that cool swagger, and some fabulous guitars!  (we'll ignore Jagger's often very dodgy dress sense)
cry HAVOC!! and let slip the pigs of war!!!
