Blackie, una guitarra echa con las piezas de 5 Stratos de segunda mano.
Si es que al final lo barato sale caro
No es algo que yo haya visto en directo (por desgracia) así que se aleja un poco de la idea del post, pero por rellenar comento la Hohner de Prince (que imagino que no sería muy cara cuándo él la compró) y la cosa que utilizaba Billy Bragg en sus inicios. Copio y pego lo que él mismo comentó:
Info on Billy's "Arbiter Les Paul Junior TV copy" guitar -
"... It's the guitar that I used during the Riff Raff years and was the sound of my first couple of albums ('Life's a Riot with Spy Vs Spy' and 'Brewing Up with Billy Bragg').
Arbiter were a UK guitar company that sold Japanese-made copies of classic American electric guitars. I bought mine for £83 from Ron's Music Shop in Ilford on 28th March 1978. I loved the simplicity of its single P-90 dog ear pick-up (which rumour has it were real p-90s bought from Gibson). It was originally sunburst in colour, but I covered the body in strips of silver gaffa tape on which I stencilled the words 'This Guitar Says Sorry'. I also added an adjustable bridge.
When Riff Raff split up in 1980, I stripped the paint off the body and began using it to do solo shows in early 1982, playing it through a Roland Cube 40 amplifier. For the next couple of years, I toured the UK, guitar in one hand, amp in the other, with my bag slung over my shoulder. The Arbiter features on all of the tracks on Life's A Riot and much of Brewing Up. It's the guitar in the case on the back of the sleeve of 'Talking to the Taxman About Poetry'. I continued to use it for live dates up until late 1988 and still have it stashed away in storage..."
