Small guitar or big man?

I've seen some big fellas make some serious instruments look small, but this guy makes his LP Custom look like a mini replica. Thoughts?

Skip to 2:40 or so

If you edit your post there's a glitch that turns the video into a picture. If you re-paste the link when you edit the post before saving the correct link is retained.

That's a big dude. Bet he gives good hugs.

He does look like a banjo player from a distance!

Seriously though, yeah he's a unit alright! Good track too, I've not heard that. Thanks for posting!

Big dude wearing a regular guitar quite high.

I bet his name is 'Bubba-Ray Cooder'.

Last time I saw Reef play live there was a moment when Jack Bessant turned his back to the audience and as a result of the combination of him being such a giant with a massive beard flowing everywhere  and the long strap and extreme "Slash" angle he was holding his P Bass at there was no bass visible sticking out of either side of him.
Which I remember thinking was pretty nuts at the time.
Mind you I was a bit hammered

Yes when I tried one of those I looked like a five year old trying on his dad's rain coat

How to make a 335 look like an SG....


how to make a person look like a 5yr old boy (without resorting to uniform). Keef well done son that's your first pentatonic scale, keep up the hard work

I get crazy amounts of good-natured stick for choosing a small-bodied short-scale guitar as my main instrument when I'm 6' 6" tall :-)

It wouldn’t be half as bad if you couldn’t play it - but irritatingly you wring it’s neck and it sounds bloody excellent!!

You had me at Jane Wiedlin

Poor old Malcolm, being both short (like me) and slightly built (err... not so much), always looked like he could comfortably reside in his White Falcon.
