Let's see. The lead player you describe ("geeky-looking") sounds
like Kenny Vaughn, a fine player who's worked in Kelly Willis' live
band and many others.... Often he plays a Gretsch, but just as often
he plays one of those Albert Lee signature guitars (the "non-typical
Fender" looking one you mention, I'll bet). Who is it they're made
by? Ernie Ball?? It's a nice instrument and you can find them cheap
used because they're not widely familiar, etc.
