“This is probably the only time you will read Julian Lage and Nigel Tufnel’s names in the same sentence”: Every guitar featured in the trailer for Spinal Tap II, from St. Vincent’s Music Man to Joe Satriani’s Ibanez JS-3

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues – the legendary British metal band attempts a comeback, older, not any wiser but with a point to prove.

The trailer has finally dropped for the long-awaited Spinal Tap sequel, with our heroes older definitely, wiser maybe, and ready to make some kind of comeback – to climb out of obscurity and reclaim their legacy as one of Britain’s great heavy metal institutions.

For that, they’re going to need guitars, and lots of them. Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown might have made all the early running in the bid to be the most guitar-heavy film of 2025, but for all of Timothée Chalamet and Gibson’s efforts, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is going to be 1hr 23 minutes of NAMM on psilocybin.
