Hate to burst your bubble but the honest truth is that is a $140 Fender Squier Bullet Strat. It is confirmed by Rutherford's guitar tech that among the higher end guitars Mike is playing on this tour the Squier Bullet is his favorite. Sorry dude.

I just looked on the Sweetwater gear website and they were selling ones identical to the one he's playing in this video for $189.00. I love that he's proving that it isn't about the cost of the gear.

Words popularly used for a different meaning such as "terrific" find their way into some dictionaries over time. Or words/terms mispronounced such as "short-lived" (derived from the noun "life" not the verb "live") show a first and second pronunciation. Plain spelling errors shouldn't. I find "lose" and "definitely" strangely to be misspelled often.

Huge respect . Had tears in my eyes watching this. Phil is a total gentlemen and warrior. He wrote in his own hand some thirty years ago, in reply to a letter from my son who was twelve at the time. No other superstar would bother with that. Also subsequently sent us guest passes for us to see Genesis at Knebworth, and we were just genuine fans chancing our luck a bit. I remember talking to Liza Goddard, actress and former wife of Alvin Stardust, (apparently she was a friend of Mike’s wife), but the view from the guest enclosure was not good, and I had to stand on a chair to tell her Phil had his best jeans and T shirt on. Unlimited free beer though. God bless Phil, may you go on forever
