I'm surprised that when Mike plays live, what with the number of guitars he uses, he doesn't use one of those special guitar holders, which holds a few guitars (in the playing position in order for the guitarist to move quickly from guitar to guitar)like Steve Howe for instance!

Mike doesn't have a 'fixed' guitar, i.e. one he plays all the time. [The light-brown-coloured PRS gets often close to be such, but ultimately it isn't. :)] Steve Howe and the other guitarists (e.g. Santana) who use guitar holders, tend to have a single guitar that they play all the time. At least I think they do. :)

Steve Howe actually uses quite a few guitars on stage, but as David said his stand holds four guitars (I think it's four). From what I can remember it has four arms with a guitar attached to each one, and it rotates around, so when you want to change guitars you simply spin it until the one you want is in the right position. I hope this is the one you're talking about David, Steve Howe certainly did have one like this. I don't think he uses it any more though: I suppose it would be kind of unwieldy and big to use on stage.

Then again, he could either use the Roland Virtual Guitar system, like he did on 'Man In The Rain' when he switched sounds from PRS to Strat and back to PRS during the solo live in concert, or he could get Variax!
