I'm a newbie here and have just spent a couple of pleasant hours wandering the forum and finding out all my old bootlegs !

A quick question for any other sad muso's out there - does anyone know what make / model of 12 string guitar Hussey used during the Sisters ? Its the 'drug' guitar that can be seen on Wake, US tour Boots and m*****n OGWT - any clues gratefully appreciated....

No idea, but welcome to Heartland.

Gray?

You wouldn't be an old, faded Goth would you...?

thank you....

not so much of the old, and probably not much of a goth but certainly faded :)

I'm sure you'll fit right in among the faded, jaded and occasionally degraded folks round these parts.

..and what a lovely thing it is, fair makes my heart flutter at the memory of watching Wake for the first time, and hearing those first magical flangy notes of FALAA...Happy days

I managed to track my RS-800 down here in the US.

Below is a pic how Wayne's guitar would have looked like before he broke
out the can of spray paint.

Apparently the Japanese second-hand market is the place to look since they exported very few with most going to the domestic market.
