TOMK "The Fender Strat looked good, too.
He should go back to using that instead of these guitars
a 14-year old uses in his first garage band".
I don't think the guitars he has used over the years look like a 14 year olds. He used Ronnies Silver Topped Les Paul in 75, a Gibson SG in 81, several different Strats (or at least Strat type) in 89 & 94 that had custom pick guards, If I remember corectly he used a Black Les Paul during Miss You during B2B and during LICKS a Tele and a Strat. His guitars do look distinctive next to Keith and Ron's.
Regarding his stage outfits, I think he found the perfect combination starting with his Live Aid performance. He has pretty much stuck with Jacket, Shirt, T-Shirt Black pants ever since. Thank god he ditched those jumpsuits, they looked silly. Off Topic, but semi-related......have you noticed that Keith stopped wearing boots and blue jeans on-stage since 89 ? Now he wears what look like those black stretchy pants and old school type sneakers. Ronnie has stuck with the jeans and either jogging sneakers or basketball type kicks.
The Round guitar Ronnie played during LICKS. What brand of Guitar is that ? Anyone know? Also, wish Ron would start using his Silver Topped Les Paul again, but it probably weighs a ton on him at this point. Keith mentioned that he started using the semi-hollow Gibsons on-stage cause they are light and the Tele's were getting heavy after 2 hours.
