I saw Stewart Copeland with a small orchestra doing the live Ben Hur silent movie soundtrack. It really was the best "prog rock" I've heard in a long time.
You should look for the CD/DVD.

Not a Bowie, Zappa, or Talking Heads fan either, are ya?I've never been much of a KC fan
January 1984 cover story, I assume. Ade's Mustang era was relatively brief, circa 83-86. As I said, before the Twang Bar King tour, his main axe was a Strat, and he switched to Custom Shop Strats when his resumed his solo career after touring with Laurie Anderson, which he continued to use all the way up to til he started endorsing the Parker guitars.
I've always wondered why he used the Mustangs in the first place. For all the trouble he went to, he could have simply bought four Roland G-505 guitars, had them refinished and put the Seymour Duncan pickups and Kahler tremolo on those, and be done with it. Instead, he cut up and refinished four (at least) vintage Fenders (this being before Fender started offering reissues of their "lesser" models, the Mustang included). So I've always wondered if there wasn't some reason why he went to the Mustang, perhaps relating to the shorter scale length or something of that nature.

Fair enough. They ARE unusual-looking. They play really well, but I can't take take issues like what happened to the NiteFly. And it was a common issue - there were lots of people discussing it on the Parker forum, but Parker kind of ignored it. It sucks; I have a useless $1500 hunk of wood that I'm using for parts...

When I saw KC during the TCoL-TPtB period, Ade was playing Parkers.
