There's a lot going on in that photo, despite it's deceptively simple composition:

The hippie guitar straps

The Fantasy Island white suits

The gargantuan bowties

The tuxedo shirts, particularly Chet's

The NORAD control panel on Chet's guitar (Is that a Gretsch?)

Welcome to the '70s. The album release was 1976.

Those evening jackets with wide lapels, the near clown-size bowties, and the over-ornamented shirts were all part of the '70s look. There are literally millions of Baby Boomer wedding pictures that attest to the dominance of this formal look at that time.

I wonder if he ever, secretly, played a strat?

Don't know if he played this, but he had a sense of humor :)

Yeah, I have heard of them. Thanks.  

Chet has nothing to do with the fucking thread, so it's random.  

Chet's in the OP's video.

What are you, the fucking Thread Police?

I remember that "NoCaster" being in the auction after he passed away, complete with the original case. The auction I think said that he got it from Leo himself.

At least he managed to muster some appearance of pride of ownership.
Unlike this proud Epiphone player.

He can't even muster the courage to let his fingers touch the fret board!

In fairness, he was still waiting for his stool softener to kick in.
