A friend of mine has that exact same model with the reversed pick ups and his sounds beautiful.
Shamefully, I don't know who Steve Harris is

The bass guitar is Steve Harris' and the drum kit is Nicko McBrain's from both from Iron Maiden.
The Greeny les Paul was sold by Peter Green to Gary Moore. With cash troubles Moore sold it to a private collector. Thankfully Kirk Hammett from Metallica bought it for $2 million. He regularly plays it live which is great as a guitar that legendary needs to be played rather than locked away
The ESP ' The Mummy ' super strat is Kirk's favourite modern guitar

Is the bass Bootsy Collins? Double neck is Jimmy Page. Another old smaller kit so will guess at Gene Krupa?

Two out of 3.
Clue - Pop
@Harry Wilson's tackle is going to kick himself, because I know they're one of his favourites
Hope again, my friend, hope again.I hope this is mainstream Harry, would you say more MOR or Pop ?
All I will say is I saw them live three times in the 70s, the first time supporting Bebob Deluxe at the Dome. I was near the front and there were two rows of 15 year old girls there, ready to drool over Bill Nelson. This lot came on stage to the guitarist reading from Naked Lunch in a darkened auditorium, then with a flash of light they appeared, bursting into 'Waiting'. There were audible screams of surprise and fear in the front of the auditorium. I, of course, was transfixed.

I did see Bebop Deluxe a couple of times, so may have been there, but if they were the support whilst you were transfixed, there was a fair chance I was in the bar. Sorry, I've always been shallow, BUT I am consistentHope again, my friend, hope again.

I'm disappointed that you didn't recognise the mid/late 60's/early 70s 'Stop sign' badge on that Gretsch kit and champagne sparkle ? Wouldn't it be funny if Harry gets it
And the obscure clue. When Tyrannosaurus Rex first played the Dome their support act, who went on to become a MASSIVE star had already changed their name to avoid being confused with another member of this band.

Going off at a tangent. Whilst having a drink around the back of the North Stand at the Villa game before Xmas I spotted a familiar looking guy carrying a bag with Seymour Duncan written on it. There was a clue as well known pick up brand. As I thought it was a guy called Sean Brady who just happens to be the guitar tech for Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden. Top bloke and after a little chat he pulls out and gives me one of Adrian's signature guitar picks from their most recent tour

Doctors of Madness. Fact. That's all.
You missed the legend that was Kid Strange.I did see Bebop Deluxe a couple of times, so may have been there, but if they were the support whilst you were transfixed, there was a fair chance I was in the bar. Sorry, I've always been shallow, BUT I am consistent

How about these 3 complete with the player. And bonus points if you can pronounce the first name of one of them correctly

Well done. And what's the sticker on the back of virtually every one of his strats?
