it's a melody maker from about 1964/65 - before that, the double cuts were more les paul junior/special-ish, afterward they were like an SG. the narrow, straight-sided headstock gives it away, obviously customised with a humbucker and what i assume is a P90 at neck. controls moved to suit.
same type/shape as joan jett's, now a gibson signature model
It could be Melody Maker but the pickup switch has been moved to the front. Hmm. Or It could Gibson LP special (I have one) but than jack on is on the front... It seems that Rick was having fun moving things around. Great guitar from great days.
@simon1andreas it's forty five hundred times - check out the full version on the "Status Quo Live" album recorded in my home town (Glasgow) in Oct 1976. I was there for 2 of the 3 nights.
Jeetje en daar was ik bij, geweldig. Eerst een hamburger van Sjaak Swart en dan zo'n concert. Ik ben nog door een stoel gesprongen, haha. I'll never forget it!
Jeez. I'd almost forgotten how hard and heavy this band used to be. Not the whimpy pop outfit they became in the 80's and stayed that way. How can anyone ever compare the two. Two very different bands. I know which era I prefer. This is rock the way it should be played, Quo style.

They look and sound especially amazing here. If I could find a bootleg of the whole thing, that would be one great concert!

Tremendous, if the whole gig had been filmed I think I could safely say it'd be the best Quo show ever released.
