Syd Barrett's Guitars?

does anyone know of the guitars used by Syd? aside from the mirrored Telecaster, of course. im looking to buy a new (old) axe and im curious as to what kind he used. ive seen many pics with many different guitars, one imparticular is used on the London 66-67 video, but any help with the other guitars shown below will do just fine. i know some of you havent seen that video or many old pics of Syd in action, so i'll leave a link or two showing what im looking for....thanks!

Re: Syd Barrett's Guitars?

I think Syd's holding an early '60's Danelectro in the first two pictures.

(Model DC-59 -- just checked)

The last picture shows Syd playing a Hofner "Committee" (1959)

Re: Syd Barrett's Guitars?

Stratters speaks truth. He also had a Yamaha 12-string (heard on 'Flaming') and a regular Burns acoustic, but don't quote me on the latter (odd memory).

Re: Syd Barrett's Guitars?

Does anyone know what happened to the mirrored Telecaster? I hope that it wasn't given away with many of the others when he lived at the Cloisters.

Check www.sydbarret.it. it has a section on Everyone's favorite nutcase pink Floyd frontman's Gear, PS, the mirrored Tele was an Esquire.
