New guitars...
Both Simon and James have got new guitars, and verrrry nice they are too...
First up, we can see Simon's new Gretsch, which appears to be a White Falcon, although i'm not 100% sure about that... it certainly seems to be, although the WF comes in a variety of formats, including one with a Bigsby trem, which i'm fairly sure Simon's guitar doesn't have.
The band have apparently been gifted new guitars from Fender, which are completely custom built by fender; it's quite an honour, and they do this every year for one or two bands who they sponsor and who they feel have contributed to music in a big way that year. Simon's guitar is fairly obviously built around a strat body - possibly the same 60s Custom Shop Relic that's mentioned here?
James' bass appears to be a Fender Jazz precision body. :) It's equally sweet.
