At heart, EvilSponge is really a bunch of music
geeks. As such, we often admire the gear that various musicians
play on. Here is a sampler of some of the prettier instruments
we saw.
Although this is a standard Fender, i like the personalization
that one of the guitarists in Cassavetes added to his instrument:
Bill Taft of Hupcap City plays a lovely old hollpw body upside-down.
I guess left-handed guitars are pretty rare....
The leader of Hell Mach 4, who might have been the most technically
proficient guitarist at the entire 'Rama, played this nice
Epiphone hollow-body.
Michelle DuBois of Luigi plays an oddly shaped guitar.
This was actually the backup guitar of the lead guitarist in
Moresight. This was his main instrument:
I think that Moresight win the award for "Nicest Gear". In
addition to the lead guitarist's two nice instruments, the
band's main vocalist played this lovely thing:
If Moresight win for "Best Instruments", then Brainbox win
for "Most Interesting instruments. Check out this 8-string
bass that their bassist was using:
The guitarist of Brainbox also plays this strange guitar with
only half of a body:
All of the above guitar cases were used by Untied States. They
had some nice ones too, including a beautiful Rickenbacker
Bass. Sadly, their stage lighting prevented me from getting
any good shots of the actual guitars....
