A couple Youtube discoveries:

Billy Cobham playing "Red Baron". A recent performance with what I would guess are players from Europe or Scandinavia. I thought the guitar was an old Ibanez at first, but it looks like an Alembic or something. Can anyone confirm?

Some older Scott Henderson, when he was playing straight up fusion. He is playing his Purple Ibanez, which i believe is a Roadstar, anyone?

Check out this one: English guitarist Graham Young with the Urban Jazz Guerrillas. Some Holdsworth influence there, but very original stuff.

How about this short Frank Gambale clip. You can hardly see his hands move.

Hi Funkle:

Thank you, John and Artfield for the links. Love fusion. I really enjoyed the Tribal Tech performance.

About the purple Ibanez. The headstock is not like the regular Roadstars that I know. Ibanez did come out with a few "Roadstar Pro" models that were not much like the regular Roadstars. I am not sure if this might be a Radius model that they called a Roadstar Pro. The video was grainy, so I couldn't see the body well. So not a regular Roadstar (no pointy headstock on the regular Roadstars-- the one in the video shows a pointy headstock), but possibly a Roadstar Pro, or a custom jobbie. I have two or three regular Roadstars and four or five Roadstar Pro models, FWIW. My favorite Roadstar Pro is the 580T (Turbot).

What did you guys think of the guitar solo in Red Baron? I thought it was pretty epic myself.

Scott, I've seen Henderson play live several times, twice with Tribal Tech, and recently at La Ve Lee in LA where I sat about six feet away from him. He is amazing, and what he plays now is worlds away from his Tribal Tech days.

I've read about Scott's guitars before, I just can't remember what these early models are. Later, he played a custom shop basswood S540 with Duncan 59s. And now he is a John Suhr endorser.

Here are a few catalog shots:

(Note: Scott's guitar is different from the RV470 featured on the page - it has a Roadstar style cutaway and fore-arm cut)

I'll see what I can dig up on the Scott Henderson Forum.
