#Straturday with @kevinkanemusic (and @jaysemko, far right) of @thenorthernpikes last night in #Toronto at the @horseshoetavern. . Kevin is constantly surprising me with the eclectic array of #guitars he shows up with! 😄 Does anyone know what this unusual bound black #Stratocaster with matching headstock is? I want to say it's a Japanese "#Aerodyne" #Strat but can anyone confirm that? It sounded great whatever it was... . . #fenderjapan #aerodynestrat #northernpikes #kevinkane #fender #fenderstratocaster #guitar #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #fenderguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #guitargear #vintagegear #guitarsdaily #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography . . PS: note the extreme shininess of the guitar. That's a reflection of the other guitar player's (Bryan Potvin's) hand reflected on the top above the neck pickup! Bryan is standing just out of frame to the left (playing a lovely White Falcon btw which will appear in a future post...) . PPS: swipe for a more cubist rendering of Kevin. Lightroom did something screwy to the shots whilst bringing them back from the sharpening plugin, but I kind of like the result so I added them here for giggles! 😄 (at Horseshoe Tavern) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4XSI4sh4yo/?igshid=1sjwjgsnj6vj9

I hardly ever do #lapsteel #guitars, but they intrigue me so much and they are the least expensive way to get into #vintageguitars! Here’s a 1950s #Rickenbacker #Model100 lap steel with original case, spotted at @capsulemusic. Swipe left to see the groovy logo plate and case. It’s celebrity owned too, by @kevinkanemusic of @thegrapesofwrath. I grew up listening to Kevin and The Grapes of Wrath and his songs Peace of Mind, Backward Town, All The Things I Wasn’t, Isn’t There, Paint You Blue, and Last To Know are amongst my favourite songs of all time. #kevinkane #grapesofwrath #canadianband #canadianmusic #80smusic #90smusic #guitar #lapsteelguitar #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitar #vintagerickenbacker #rickenbackerguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #guitarphotography (at Capsule Music) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuB5Uq9APC8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1izmgv21sbr2u

A very sexy 2014 #Fender #CustomShop '54 #Stratocaster Heavy #Relic in see-through #blonde with gold anodized pickguard. Spotted at @capsulemusic #Toronto. That denim-clad leg on the left belongs to rock star #KevinKane of legendary Canadian indie band #GrapesOfWrath. YouTube a song called "All The Things I Wasn't" for an excellent example of Kevin's singing and playing.

Found these old shots of my 2011 #Epiphone #Casino 50th Anniversary #Reissue. At the time I was not able to afford an iPhone. So I just pretended to have one with strategic placement of masking tape on the #headstock! 😁 Trivia: the prior owner of this #guitar was Kevin Kane of #Canadian #indie #rock legends of the 80s and 90s @thegrapesofwrath. True story! #Icovetaniphone #guitars #epiphoneguitars #epiphonecasino #hollowbodyguitars #guitarcollection #kevinkane #GrapesOfWrath #guitarphotography

#tbt to some @thegrapesofwrath shot back in the late 90’s for their record Field Trip. This was the reunion record. #myvancouverdays #thegrapesofwrath @kevinkanemusic @tomthehooper #kevinkane #tomhooper #portraits #mamiyarz67 (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALnt84ASx3/?igshid=18m407c2va10f

Another installment of my "Just a #Guitar That I Used To Know" series, with a lovely 2011 #Epiphone #Casino #50th #Anniversary #Reissue that I sold to help pay for my 1966 #Gibson #ES330. As you know the #330 and the Casino are essentially the same guitar...so there wasn't much point in keeping both when the Gibson wasn't paid for yet! ;) This guitar was super light weight, and that #RoyalTan finish and black #dogear #P90 covers visually differentiated it nicely from the regular Casino models of today. It was tough to let it go... Also interesting - the guitar's prior owner was #KevinKane, who is famous for being the #singer/#guitarplayer from The #GrapesOfWrath, who had several hits in Canada in the late 80s and early 90s (YouTube a song called "All The Things I Wasn't" if you want to hear one of their hits). #guitars #epiphonecasino #epiphoneguitars #epi #guitarcollection #guitarphotography #tbt
