From doing a bit if research, I think the original/ non original neck pickup was off an old Framus. Another 'fact' was this was Mac's guitar originally too. As with anything, both might be off the mark but that's what I read at least.
Steve a huge hero of mine, no one's really got close. As again, I read somewhere, someone quoted him as good as if not better than Page AND Plant
Midnight of my Life (Martin Freeman) worth a watch too, decent wee film and kinda highlights the disparity in success vs talent he had compared with some of his counterparts. Never topped Tin Soldier nor Rockin' The Fillmore in my opinion but those two ain't bad me ol' mucker...
Enjoy the guitar, might use the lockdown to get my one done.
Cheers

Mostly forgotten gig, but a hell of a day.
The best of them all regarding the old or new Faces ..

Either way, if you can find a Lawrence/Framus pickup for yours, you won’t regret it, Hugh! It’s fab!
That solo on SOAB is for me, Steve's greatest guitaring. I've recommended it to anyone learning to play that raucous bluesy sort of soloing he does so well. Sounds totally off the cuff, one take and whilst I think he is pretty well regarded a vocalist - think that and obviously plenty other examples highlight what a player he was too. Some of the filmed late 80s pub gigs are worth checking too. The sharp mod about town look may have gone but the sharp guitar slinger round town hadn't.
Enjoy the geetar - what an aceface project

Its my fave solo by him too - although those little passing riffs at the beginning of Tin Soldier are right up there too. Just perfect timing - not technically difficult just impossible to better for timing and phrasing.
