    looks to me like a really old danelectro (look at the headstock)

    Looks like a danelectro, with the knobs, headstock, and finish. Though I've never seen the body style before.

    Yup, that's a Danelectro. I've seen him with all different shapes and styles of Danelectros, too. They're quirky/ cool guitars for quirky/ cool guitarists!

    I think the signature Fender you might be thinking of is the Jeff Beck Stratocaster.

    Jeff Beck and Beck have pretty different guitar styles! :D

    Wait... if Beck Hansen plays a Jeff Beck model, then what model does Jeff Beck play?

    I'm confused, I didn't know there are two Becks... I thought Jeff Beck has a band called Beck.

    Fender has two of them, the Jeff Beck Strat and the Jeff Beck Signature Strat.

    Jeff Beck once had a band named The Jeff Beck Group. There is nothing he can't do on guitar! He's been around since the mid '60s and still is amazing.

    Beck Hanson is a 90's guy. Maybe he should name his next CD "I'm not Jeff!" :D His new one is really good by the way!

    I seem to remember another band... something about Yardbirds...

    Really? Hmmm, I think that was Beck HANSON. ;)

    I once went to see the Faces once a hundred thousand years ago,,,, it was Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck and Ronnie Wood. The greatest bar band ever!
