Rhonda doesn't play her Fenders on this tour; it's the first time I see her cradling a couple of PRS Kingfishers :o :) .

Perhaps she's landed an endorsement deal with PRS. :idea:

Obviously Jeff requested a neck with his favourite fat baseball bat profile and old Wilkinson split roller nut, except for the addition of a reverse peghead.

How do you come to that conclusion Captain Obvious.? One might theorize the rationale for the reverse headstock from what we already know of the subtle changes in tonal quality due to string length, but I don't see evidence of that neck profile here. The roller nut is self evident.

Jeff's choice for the reverse headstock came after an old photo of Jimi Hendrix covering the Rough And Ready album.

Over the years El Becko was frequently seen playing large headstock Strats onstage.

The natural '54 with the broken guard was fitted with a '72 rosewood neck.

Chances are Jeff opting for a reverse large headstock in the near future!
