Neil Finn, one of the greatest songwriters of the past three decades or so. More commonly seen with his now famous red Gretsch Jet Firebird.

Yep, he played a 2000 normally when he was first in Split Enz. The one in that photo looks like a 175 though...

Doesn't look like himself in that pic... the firebird is the guitar I associate him with.

He was quite young when he joined Split Enz if I'm not mistaken. He also looked a LOT like Joffrey from GoT.

And related to this thread, I FINALLY GOT ONE. YAY.

I don't think either John or Johnny will influence the used guitar market very much these days. I love them both but neither are that high-profile lately.

GOOD. Hopefully they stay relatively cheap so I can accumulate more of them....
