Still wondering if this emoji was named sankara-bass to annoy me personally
That's a fucking guitar, revisionist scum!

Given the time frame when he got it, I think there's a solid chance that it's a USA-made Fender Stratocaster. In other photos, you can tell that it's the non-CBS era headstock, and it has a rosewood fingerboard. The 1954-1958 models only came with maple fingerboards, and the chonky CBS headstocks started in 1965 (through 1981). His band, Tout à coup Jazz, was mostly active in the 70s (with one show in '84), so that is most likely a second-gen Stratocaster (1959-1964) in either Dakota Red or Fiesta Red. That looks like gold hardware, too, which was an available factory option in '59-'64. (If that photo is from '82 or later, then all bets are off, because that was when Fender started producing them in Japan, pre-Squier.)

You might as well be speaking Thai for most of this for how well I follow, but I appreciate the thoroughness of the analysis
-
Paint job aside, it's basically the same guitar as the one from the Wayne's World movie.

Nah, just an imbiber of forbidden knowledge. Some people get the cool eldritch shit, others get useless topics like boomer guitar lore.

To be fair, boomer guitar lore tastes an awful lot like lead poisoning.

Sidenote - anyone ever been able to find recordings of his music? Closest I've got is Volta Jazz and a few other groups that he supposedly watched play, or played with the one of members of at some point.
