Been watching the YouTube footage of the Searchers final final gig. Frank Allen is playing a Jetglo Ricky, not hie usual 51 style P, but the machine heads look a very odd shape. They don’t look like cloverleaf. Is he playing a fake?

They look a bit like the wavy Grover's they used on 4001's.

 

Could it be an old 4001?

Didn’t know they used Grovers ever. If it is an old one it seems to be in pristine Nick.

They do look like Grovers from what we can see. Either Rotomatics and it’s a 4001 from mid 70’s or “Wavy” slimlines if the bass is a 4003. These were fitted around 1982 for a short while.

The toaster nearer the neck, lack of checkered binding, full width inlays and what looks like a post 72 bridge (not to mention the crackerjack Grover's) suggest early 73 4001. Looks really nice nick whatever.

Did anybody notice that the two photos are showing him playing exactly the same thing exactly the same way ... or maybe he always freezes in this position for photos? :biggrin:

He has limited movement in his right hand because of the needles and pins (ah).
