His other stringed instrument is actually a 1966 Rickenbacker 450/12. When he got the guitar it was just a pickguard and body. Along with acquiring an 8-string neck, Parks routed out the pickup slots a little wider so he could put in a set of TV Jones Duo-Trons. This guitar is a package deal with Ben’s Gretsch, so it sees action on “Call Me a Star” and “Talisman.”
