Doesn't look weird to me. Some of us are drawn to other guitars besides the usual Strats, Teles, and Les Pauls. So, a Gretsch or a Mosrite would not be that much of a surprise in that regard.

As long as he's still able to play guitar, I'd be fine seeing him with a BC Rich. Hopefully his condition improves.

That said, I'm more suprised he's a Prince fan.

Context and details are everything...maybe this is a photo at a friend's home with Setzer having a whirl with the friend's Mosrite.

The Brian Setzer photo was recently posted on the Rusan Guitarworks Facebook page with this explanation:
"Here he is playing my Nokie Edwards (of the Ventures) Mosrite guitar!"

That was a cool read about Rusan. The painted necks are really interesting. They must be painted before fretting I guess? The Mosrite is super cool too.
