Guitars used by James Dean Bradfield on Critical Thinking
Rickenbacker 360/12 12-String Hollowbody
Avg price: $2,867.33
In this photo gallery interview, James Dean Bradfield says, “I won this in a bet with [record producer] Mike Hedges. During one session in his Normandy studio for This Is My Truth... we were ragging each other over a rugby score. So we had a bet!
I used it on, among other songs, If You Tolerate This... for the solo. My Les Paul Custom and the Thinline weren’t quite working. Quite an interesting solo - it went through both my Marshall and Vox and then got returned through a Moog synth. It’s a simple solo, but I like to think it’s elegant."
Guild Thunderbird S-200 Reissue
Avg price: $917.11
