Does anyone remember back in the early 80's watching Letterman and seeing the guitarist play a yellow and black Strat? I am trying to figure out if it was indeed a yellow and black Strat, and if it was played by the current guitarist in Schaffer's band, Sid Mcginnis. Any help would be appreciated! Also, any pics would be appreciated. Google is coming up empty. Thanks!

Wow, so I guess this a pretty good trivia question?! I'm actually curious because he was one of the first guitarists I "noticed" when I was about 12. I would always try to stay up late (past bedtime) to watch the show to catch a glimpse of him playing. So, yeah he was an inspiration to get me started. I thought it would be cool to own a guitar like that, which is another reason I'm curious what he played. Thanks for the replies so far!E = FbComment

It is ESP. He used to get a lot of ESP parts and assemble his own.Comment

And as you can see in that last clip, he often wore matching yellow shoes !"Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."Comment

Yeah, I always remembered those shoes...it was a cool touch!E = FbComment

It was an ESP. I believe he got it from 48th Street Custom guitars in NYC which was a big dealer at the time for ESP and their own brand. The store is gone now. What a shame.Comment
