| 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! http://www.pink-floyd.org/barrett/sy...1966studio.jpg http://www.pink-floyd.org/barrett/syd_img/b56aa.jpg http://www.pink-floyd.org/barrett/syd_img/syd5.jpg http://www.pink-floyd.org/barrett/syd_img/Floyd1964.jpg http://www.pink-floyd.org/barrett/syd_img/s1965.jpg

| 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)

| 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.
