This 1973 Series 111 Yamaha SG-60T is really quite rare these days. It features design ideas from both Mosrite and Gibson (there’s a slight Gibson Les Paul look to the body) and comes with a large cast vibrato system.
This guitar is such a good example that it was featured in the September 2006 issue of Guitarist Magazine!!
Thanks to Phil for giving us this demo of the Yamaha! Check out Phil’s YouTube Channel for more guitar videos.
This Tele-Star Sparkle was built by Kawai in roughly 1965 and imported into the US by Tele-Star Musical Instrument Corporation.
It features a gold sparkle finish and styling reminiscent of the Burns Bison with the headstock looking a little bit like a Fenders Strat’s! What do you think?
Thanks to Phil for putting the Tele-Star Sparkle through its paces and to putting this video together! Check out Phil’s YouTube Channel for more guitar videos.
In this clip they’re playing Status Quo’s hit ‘Caroline’, originally released in 1973.
This song was first written in a hotel in Perranporth in Cornwall – is that right?!
Status Clone were a top Status Quo tribute band and featured the ‘Guitar Guru’ Paul Day and Lars Mullen on guitars!

The Undertakers with Geoff Nugent play “Just a Little Bit” at the Cavern Club (yes, that Cavern Club!!) in Liverpool.
The Undertakers were contemporaries of the Beatles and were part of the Merseybeat scene in Liverpool during the early to mid 60s.
Not actually sure when this was filmed and for the guitar heads out there, is that a Gibson SG??
Guitar Hero Phil Walker demos the Burns Flyte!
Dating from the 1970s, the Burns Flyte by classic British guitar maker Burns UK features a retro-futuristic design which they carried over to the slightly later Burns Mirage.
