It took me that long, but I just realized that he's been using that same guitar since he cut his hair. In fact, that's something he should change up a bit, not songs. Maybe he could play that Les Paul from back in the day now and then.

I don't know.....I think a lot of fans would be really be shocked if he quit using the Turner guitar. He does play a variety of guitars during a show, though.

Yeah you're right. But I still think it'd be cool to see come out sometime with a Slash guitar (I think it's a Les Paul Custom).

In the meantime, Tumblr link, but I got one thing to say: nice rack you got there Lindsey: http://****yeahlindseybuckingham.tum...before-rumours

Probably not a real opening. I watch The Simpsons a lot and have personally never seen it. I guess I could have missed it somewhere...... As for Homer and Marge Do Rumours, anything that mixes The Simpsons and FM is Wonderful!! It's great that both of us enjoy The Simpsons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you're the one who had a large say in the design of the guitar, you tend to want to use it pretty much exclusively, since it fits your playing style & gets the sounds you want.

That's the problem, he HATED the Les Pauls....he only played them because Mick & John pretty much brow-beat him into using them because, as they said, "Les Pauls are the Fleetwood Mac guitar". Les Pauls really don't fit Lindsey's fingerpicking style all that well (obviously like the Turner does...or like a Strat or Tele that he used before joining FMac)

I don't think he really uses the Turner all that much for studio work, but they definitely work for him in a live setting. The "Oh Diane" video was kind of a shocker showing him "Playing" (since we know that video was totally lip sync'ed) a big ol' Gretch.

It's the same thing as with Eric Clapton using a Strat...he & the Stratocaster, since 1970 have become almost synonymous. The rare times (i.e. The Dylan 30th Anniversary concert) when he uses a Les Paul, he almost looks out of place playing one, even though that was his main guitar back in his John Mayall & Cream days.

Lindsey & the Turner...they just go together.

Yeah, I've come to associate the Turner with him, like how I associate Jimmy Page with his sunburst Les Paul (if I could get anywhere on my dad's old acoustic six-string, I'd love to get a smaller version of that one) or Slash with his Les Paul Custom (I think that's what it is). Maybe it has to do with me liking Les Pauls a lot (a lot of my favorite guitarists either use it, or in Eddie Van Halen's case in regard to Frankenstrat, the guts of one), but I always thought Lindsey looked really cool using one, and now that I think about it, it did match his fuzzy appearance at the time quite well, but the Turner nhas matched him very well post-haircut.

BTW, anyone here ever see John Mayer play one? If so, did anyone think he looked a bit funny playing what we've come to know as Lindsey's axe?

I think it was just what Mick and John were used to. They likely saw it as 'their band' and in 'their band', all the other guitar players used a pick to create 'our sound', so this new guy should use one, too.

I have come to a conclusion: of these 2 pics involving older Lindsey, he is still hot as an old guy, but he looks way better in the white shirt than in the leather jacket.

You know, that does sound right. I heard, after the distaster involving a phoney version of the band that was created by their manager when they took a break after the guitarist was fired for having an affair with Mick's wife while on tour, Mick and John became the managers (at least that's what Mick said in Tusk doc I think), and with that, they probably wanted things their way, and with that, they wanted Lindsey to use a pick.
