I actually made a couple of my little recordings in those days with that guitar. And at some point I had the Val-Trol wooden model, basically like a Les Paul Custom. We were starting to tour as the Golliwogs, and Tom went somewhere and traded in two or three of those Supros and got me a 3/4-size Rickenbacker – the John Lennon model – with Rickenbacker’s whammy, which gave me two or three years of headaches [laughs].

"I took dozens of guitars to Metal Works Studio, but ended up using the same black Supro Val-Trol because it has amazing pickups that gave me quite a different sound than I’ve ever had.”
