Dunno for sure, but I believe it is a Burns guitar or perhaps a heavily modified Fender. Does anyone have any better pictures of it?

I believe it's a 'Fiesta Red' H/S/S Fender Strat (Fat Strat), but with a custom scratchplate and tuners (at the very least). The scratchplate looks very Burns-esque with the curved 'horn' toward the arse-end of the guitar and the extra bit below the bridge - but everything else about it looks Fender to me, and the headstock is a dead giveaway. I can't be totally sure, but the buttons/switches on the scratchplate (which I at first thought was just decal) seem to be phasing/pickup selection switches. Certainly not the stock electronics setup of any Fender I've ever seen before - but they look very cool.

The stage and the crowd were too far apart at Wireless to discern anything else in person - but I'll definitely be looking at Brixton to see if I can spot any more details.

In fact...

It *is* the Venini guitar!

The headstock does indeed look like a Fender, but the body doesn't. The edges look less curved than on a Stratocaster. Even the place where the guitarstrap is put onto the guitar is way different. My guess is that is a personally build guitar, with parts from several models. Perhaps a Burns body or even a weird Japanese guitar body and a Fender bridge and headstock.

Very unlikely it's a Fender. Probably one of the many offset/Strat inspired guitars that came out of Japan in the 60s and 70s. Possibly a Teisco.

Yes, it's a Jazzmaster style trem, but smaller than the Fender kind.

It's a Vox Marauder. Great looking thing, and yes, it has effect switches built in.
