Hey Luis you asked: "I am also trying to find out what the eyedrop form 12 string guitar Will sergeant used with echo and the bunnymen.anybody knows? here you can see it sitting in the background ", Hey bub, I'm almost certain that this is a Vox 12 string electric. I know because when I was a kid (in 63-67) I used to collect guitar equipment catalogues. Don't ask me why, I was a drummer, but I always loved gear. I had all the fender catalogues, the standell catalogues, the orange catalogues, the vox catalogues along with all the weekly top forty lists that our local music store gave away for free. Anyway, I was pretty good at spotting guitars and their different makes because I used to just pour over those catalogues as I listened to the Beatles, the Stones, Eric Burdon and the Animals, the Kinks, Paul Revere and the Raiders (before they became bubble gum and were pretty tough, believe it or not), and a whole host of British Invasion bands that I was really into. I kind of prided myself on knowing which model was which (along with knowing all the American muscle cars of that era as well). It was a weird obsessive thing to do for a little kid, but then again, I"ve always been a weird obsessive kind of guy..................lol. I wish to heck that I still had those old catalogues. I threw them away when I went to college thinking they were worth nothing along with my old Fillmore and Avalon hippy posters that are worth a mint now. Hell, I even had the original plastic flexidisc for the original Cry Baby Wah Wah guitar pedal that I got out of a Mad magazine of all things. You know, ".....this is the sound of the Crybaby Wah Wah Pedal...................... wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.................add nauseum. So, this is either a Vox 12 string guitar, or it was a cheap Japanese knockoff of said guitar. Vox, in those days had a whole line of tear drop shaped guitars that I thought looked bitchen (or cherry, whichever sixties northern california slang you want to apply to it).
