Yeah, since Dr. Beefheart here decided to freak out, I reviewed the video. Trapeze tailpiece, floating bridge, single humbucker. Does in fact appear to be an old Stratotone. The question remains though, what's with the primer-grey shit on the back of the neck? Was it sanded? Some kind of coating, or lacquer or something for a faster, slicker neck? I'm curious.
Junior - you're bad ass!!! Love, Jill

In the beginning of the vid it's tagged this isn't a LP.
true.
it is indeed, a Harmony Stratotone from the late 50's.
Still a viable guitar for period correct tone for recording. I really want one of these. Good Lord, Junior is a Monster Player! Master of the guitar!
Any guitar. Have you seen the Canned Heat w/ Junior vid? Unbelievable tasteful playing.

It's not a LP for one thing. It looks like a Harmony Stratotone to me.

Pretty sure that is just the grey undercoat, the colour coat (copper or possibly gold) having melted away with 50 years of wear and sweat.
