Offsets in action...Post pics of your fav players

Post by RumorsOFsurF » Fri Oct 12, 2007 1:38 am

I don't think this thread exists, but I hope not!  If it does, mods feel free to merge...

Here it is...Post pics of your favorite offset players in action.  Not just any pic of someone playing an offset, no promo/album cover photos, and not yourself.  There's already a thread for your guitars. ;)

Though I've never heard either of these guys (except the offset vid), they are some cool offset players...  :D

My girlfriend's just gotten me into Nick Cave in a bad way and I'm pretty much in love with Blixa right now (don't tell the missus). What's his own band's music like?

My addition to this thread:
Billy Corgan

Though he seems to only be playing strats right now.

Great call on Mattias Friberg

amazing player/songwriter, and great guy too!

I met him at Logh's London show a few months ago.

he played a sunburst JM with a black pickguard for all his electric guitar work during the show :)
