For me this is the DOPEST guitar in the world!! Give us more of Adrian Belew!!

[@aliensporebomb]

Boy Fender should release a "Adrian Belew Mustang" model with all of those trimmings. So cool!

[@firecrackerheart]

totally concur! so dang rad .. .

[@JL-dz8sj]

Whoever holds tickets to any shows of the beat tour is surely not going to regret their purchase

[@HalJikaKick]

How can you not love Adrian?!

[@funkster007]

I remember seeing that guitar in guitar magazines back in the 80's. It almost looked like a toy, but a very cool one.

[@jbdbibbaerman8071]

He had it under a sheet for oart of the show and i swear we cheered when he uncovered it!

[@andrewpappas9311]

My friend who plays drums in our band is going to see the BEAT tour and I can understand why he’s so excited for it (also from being a massive King Crimson fan), Adrian has always been an incredibly innovative guitarist and the stuff he does has always been really damn cool to me

[@JackPeloquin]

Your “friend”… probably a stuck up shit. Probably just heard king crimson. Danny’s the original drummer… righ?

[@hh4826]

Love Adrians work so much. His solo album 'Mr. Music Head' has always been an inspiration to me! Thank you for everything Mr.Belew

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Yes, the best Belew album!!

[@colinburroughs9871]

the Dig Me demonstration is 10 pure seconds of why Ade is flipping awesome

[@Rockfish66]

Have loved Adrian since the early days. This Mustang is the reason I bought a Mustang back in the early 80's. They were selling for pennies. I still have mine, though I am now glad I decided NOT to chop up a nice '65 to put a Kahler in it! :)

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Hang on to that Mustang! I had a Mustang Bass back in 1979-80. Bought it at a pawn shop in Newport News, VA for $75. Pawned it a year later for $75 so I could afford to take my future wife out. I saw one the other day, same vintage, for almost $3000!

[@richardroskell3452]

Adrian is such a unique guitarist.

[@horizontalblanking]

Hoping there is a longer version of this coming.. 5 min just isn’t enough!

[@premierguitar]

Full Rig Rundown releases 9/18

[@Locoporcromo1]

Thank you thank you thank you ​@@premierguitar

[@csurdykowski]

Mr. Belew is the most amazing sound sculptor. Mesmerizing.

[@neshead80]

Love seeing that mustang back in action. ❤

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Absolutely one of my favorite all time musicians!

[@mrake1000]

What a piece of art, thanks for your inspiration.

[@DavidRavenMoon]

I had a ‘72 Mustang and was so tempted to paint it like this! I recently sold it for a fair amount of money. But I think I’ll build myself one. He had two of them with slightly different paint jobs. Anyone remember his instructional video making all those crazy sounds?

[@lordstanley34]

Saw the show in Orlando tonight… holy cow, amazing. Adrian and that wonderful Mustang were just awesome. Still geeking out (sigh)…

[@ROKZLEON]

That guitar is legend!

[@retainium]

... but don't bury me... Ted, you rock! For viewers not familiar, it's a (nearly) famous line from one of Adrian's pieces.

[@aka.Mr.French]

yep, closing line from Dig Me (the piece he was using to demo the synth and the odd tuning)

[@personanongratis2082]

Y'all rocked the Ryman and it was great to see the Twang Bar King in action. Thanks!

[@tjmills458]

They sure did! I am blown away ❤

[@Memes_a_million]

Adrian had that Jag under a tarp before he played it. was really incredible to see them playing these albums in person. Was my third time seeing him.

[@gustavorodriguez9913]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks for that Rig Belew video

[@SilvioMOIZ]

Belew en Remain in light de Talking Heads es uno de los momentos más felices de mi experiencia con la música! Gracias Adrian!

[@thrasherftw]

Saw Beat last night, well worth it!

[@robertforman3494]

Before Napa show I went to the front of the stage and got a real nice picture of this guitar 😊

[@Markleford]

Man Behind the Curtain? BEARS! 🐻

[@theorangegoodness]

Mn dude now former cincy dude. You in cincy?

[@Markleford]

​@@theorangegoodness Former Columbus dude!

[@AudioAtmos]

Can’t wait to see Beat in a month. It will be like time warping to 40 years ago.

[@Patrico-tl3md]

Same here! Seeing them in Rochester NY..how about you?

[@AudioAtmos]

@@Patrico-tl3md We have pretty good seats for the Santander Performing Arts Center in Reading, PA on October 23. I think your show is about the same time as ours. I have been trying not to watch any of the show videos on here. It’s been tough, but I want to be surprised. I have to admit I watched the one Indiscipline video. It was awesome. Have a great show!!👍

[@Patrico-tl3md]

​@@AudioAtmos Sweet! Our seats aren't too bad either..really looking forward to it. Always wanted to see Levin too. You play guitar?

[@Patrico-tl3md]

​@@AudioAtmos The show in Rochester is on the 19th of October. Not too far away

[@AudioAtmos]

@@Patrico-tl3md Yes I play guitar and keys. Not as much as I use to, but I still have a small home studio to make some noise. Tony Levin is so cool. I’ve seen the original 80’s and then 90’s line up a good many times. First saw them in the summer of 82’ when I was 17 at the beginning of the Beat tour. Some of the best music I have ever seen. I have always been a huge Bruford fan especially with Crimson, but Danny Carey is incredible, seems like a really cool guy and sounds like he’s filling the position perfectly.

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

Been a fan of Adrian Below since Zappa tour, when Frank unfairly fired him. His 1st solo and 1st with KC are still favorites, and I breakout Mr. Music Head now and then also. Big Electric Cat and Lone Rhino bring me back to that time, 1st house and all having to be a adult, my dog Rex absolutely loved BEC.

[@dennisrohm6372]

Great musician and person!

[@sanderconron971]

Lone Rhino and Twang Bar King albums as great as any album ever.

[@reghunt2487]

I love Dig Me. Great song. My fave from TOAPP.

[@LaceMusic]

Lace Sensor Gold Pickups! ❤‍🔥

[@sonijam]

Such a cool looking guitar.

[@Locoporcromo1]

MORE, pleeease

[@123612100]

That guitar sounds like it's fun to play.

[@keithmcduffie7182]

My head hurts just Looking at that peddleboard!!! 🤯 Imagine navigating that starship console while playing music.....You'd need a PHD in science...... SCIENCE!!! 🥽⚗️🧪🧫🔬

[@jamescree6732]

Guitar tech refusing to take his hands out of his pockets...hilarious

[@christopher2327]

It's just awkward that they had him standing there at all

[@edwardajaj]

Adrian ….you are The Twang Bar King 🦏🐘🔥

[@mootbooxle]

Andre!!! 🎉

[@markmcarthy596]

Urbana, IL huh? Head East, REO, Alison Krause from that region too

[@rareform6747]

The HAL 9000 was connived in Urbana Illinois .

[@keiranbradley3238]

It looks like it's got a late '65/early '66 CBS Jaguar neck as it's bound and has dot markers.

[@daviddelossantos6075]

So cool

[@patandmacmusic]

That Dig Me riff is so fucking stupid but so awesome at the same time 😂😂 Love Adrian, one of the greatest dudes

[@nigeldaddyo]

wasn't Man With an Open Heart originally done on one of his fretless synth-equipped guitars?

[@aka.Mr.French]

I believe so! Guess Adrian didn't want to drag a fretless out of retirement and on the road. :)

[@mishamoon5856]

Is there a link to the whole rundown? Or is that being released later?

[@premierguitar]

Being released Wednesday 9/18

[@kidgloves2]

Fender give us this signature guitar. An affordable Mexican made.

[@nilesdelta8636]

Come to uk plz

[@deadtoolhead22]

BEAT is the only reasonable and current excuse The Bears cannot get back together...yet!

[@Ottophil]

This guitar is everything that is a dealbreaker for me not wanting a guitar all in one

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

Andre Cholmomondley might well know, but does he know that his name is pronounced 'Chumley?' It's quite a posh English name!

[@Reprodestruxion]

Trebt Reznor is like 💪👨‍🎤🔫

[@bristolfashion4421]

Birthed… a guitar - birthed? 😂

[@curtrod]

k razy sounds if you like 'em

[@HalJikaKick]

I had a copy of this video in the 80's. He demos his entire rig. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4LdhoOXpqyiorc

[@christopher2327]

All that complicated gear and setup and thats all we hear?

[@ihatezgoogle6264]

is this a joke?everything he plays sounds like shit....right?

[@funkster007]

Check him out playing that stuff with the full band. It will make sense.

[@steffenla4]

Love Adrian Belew, but man, that sounds horrible

[@methyod]

It's almost always the case that tones that sound good on their own won't work in a mix, and vice versa. As far as I can tell the tones in this video were pretty much exactly what you hear on the records.

[@shiftd_1114]

It's just another boring Fender ,lol 🤷‍♂

[@Soul74]

Derp

[@patandmacmusic]

That Dig Me riff is so fucking stupid but so awesome at the same time 😂😂 Love Adrian, one of the greatest dudes
