Guitars used by Joe Perry on Have Guitar, Will Travel
Supro Ozark 1560S Electric Guitar
Joe Perry uses a Supro Ozark in the music video for Shakin' My Cage. He also uses this guitar on Monkey on my Back.
An interview with Perry done in 2004:
Well, that’s the Ozark, because it’s kind of a beginner’s guitar, so it’s got a fat neck on it. I doubt it’s even got a truss rod in it. In fact there’s a picture of Hendrix — I think it was the first guitar Hendrix’s father bought for him, back in the — if you look at some really early, early pictures of Jimi, he’s playing one. It’s got one of those kind of horseshoe pickups on it, and the neck is kind of flat. So it really lends itself to playing slide. So I just raised the action a little bit, and I’ve used it on a bunch of songs. The most notable would be “Monkey on My Back,” that little guitar riff. And that’s what I use when I play it live.
