Trying to figure out what this yellow double cutaway was over Alex Lifeson's right shoulder when he appeared on the Shred with Shifty podcast (which is awesome, by the way).

Maybe some kind of Gibson based on the fretboard inlays?

Kind of looks like a reverend sensei

I think you nailed it! Knob configuration matches and everything.!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's gotta be it. The knobs match perfectly. There goes my Revstar theory!

I don't feel too bad though, they have very similar bodies and pickguards.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Agreed but the Revstar was super close, too!

... and also, I've got some cool new guitars to keep an eye out for.

You won't regret adding a Reverend to your lineup. They are really well built guitars intended for working musicians. I've had a double agent OG for 4 or 5 years and I love it.

That's awesome, I can't wait to try one.

If you like the DC LP shape, a few more would be the various PRS models and on the cheaper front, Samick Ultramatic.

Harley Benton (thomann.de) has double cut junior (only, sadly) and PRS shaped models as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was thinking of the PRS and the Gretsch Duo Jet.

I have this one, which is similar in shape.

That's an interesting and nice looking guitar. Brings the es335 and the like to mind.

Thanks! It's a D'Angelico Brighton Deluxe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've got the same one! How do you like it? Unfortunately mine doesn't get much play because it's so freaking neck heavy. Love the Duncan pickups in it though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love it. I sit and play, mostly, so it's balanced great for that and is so versatile across a number of music and playing styles.

Looks like an older Yamaha Revstar. First generation? Here's a similar model to that one in a burst finish:

Yeah, the body looks very similar. The knob and selector is throwing me off, though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, here's one with a similar bridge: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1209232-REG/yamaha_rs420_ftb_revstar_rs420_factory_blue.html

I'm wondering if the extra knobs are actually just pixelated reflections. I'm very sure that's a Revstar. They're great guitars, I recommend trying one out if you have the opportunity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Could also be something that he added as well. Thanks for the info, I will keep an eye out for one in the real world!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the bridge doesn't match either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cutaways are deeper than a Revstar and looks like this has a more offset body. The Yamaha sg type shape is pretty distinctive.

Les Paul standard double cutaway probably.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Looks to flat and with too much offset. That was my first idea as well though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. Scouring the interwebs trying to find a match.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s very probable it’s a custom. It’s really hard to tell from that pixelated pic though. Seeing the shape of the headstock would help immensely.
