It's the current issue, which must make it the October one. Anyway - it's the one with the supplement with it. About the guitar type - the head of the guitar was cropped from the page and you can't see the strings clearly (at all, actually). But you can make out the string pickups - there are either 6 or 7 of them above the guitarist's hand.

If you mean the pickups to be 6 or 7 small round objects on what seem to be black rectangular objects placed vertically on the body of the guitar, then there should be only 6 and that would mean a six string guitar. (If there are 7, and I doubt it, then that would mean a 7 string, yes they do exist but are uncommon.) Here are some pickup types reply to which is most likely:- ___ ___ | * | This is known as a Also looks like: | | ie. no round bits | * | single coil pickup | | (the round bits are | * | and is found on | | magnets. To explain | * | Fender Stratocasters | | their use would take | * | (eg Eric Clapton's | | too long. If people | * | main guitar type) | | want an explanation --- --- I'll be happy to oblige) _____ ----- This is known as Also looks like: | | again no round bits. | * * | a Humbucker and is | | | * * | found on Gibson | | | * * | guitars (eg Jimmy | | | * * | Page - Led Zeppelin | | | * * | uses this type | | | * * | predominantly). | | ----- ----- For a bass guitar the same applies, but instead of six magnets (round bits) there are four and size to match. (Usually about the same size only because the magnets (round bits) are usually bigger) To clear this question reply as to: 1> Type of pickup. 2> How many magnets (if any are visible). 3> Number of pickups (if possible) 4> Also Who is holding/playing the guitar? I assume the "pickups" you talk about are the magnets as described above. I don't think there would be 6 or 7 pickups on the guitar! >-- Chris Ridd, Computer Science, Birmingham Uni, UK -- RiddCJ@Cs.Bham.Ac.Uk -- Looking forward to response, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | John "actually it's Joao with | "Jigging along with the fiddle, | | a '~' on the a" Quintal.| ooh Johnny!" | | u8706672@wraith.cs.uow.edu.au | Kate Bush. | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Disclaimer: I deny ever having said that! - Mother. | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't think there would be 6 or 7 pickups on the guitar! *Blush!* Yeah, thats what I meant. I'm not *too* knowledgeable on guitars! Anyway, it looks as though we have the guitar type nailed down now. >4> Also Who is holding/playing the guitar? I don't know about this one - in fact does anyone know who played in the KT Bush Band? I think we all know the singer ;-), but all my references are pretty vague about the actual band members ('friends of Paddy' etc). The guitarist has light hair, not too long.
