The guitar is a Starcaster, Fender's own . . .
. . . copy of the Stratocaster. The unorthodox placement of the strap is to avoid having to latch it on the right way, which would have been too tight.
The guitar belongs to Mr. Kenneth Broad, administrator of the Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico, where Buddy Holly recorded most of his big hits.
If I'd had the presence of mind, I'd have strummed and sang "Think It Over (In Your Pretty Little Head)." Unfortunately, I can't strum, I can't sing, and the guitar had not been tuned. But, hey, you can't have everything.
