I accidentally left my guitar under the hotel bed. I had to quickly go to a local music store in Paducah and buy a guitar. This 1969 Stratocaster, that I purchased, became my favorite guitar for Rare Earth. It was used for all Rare Earth recordings. It's the guitar I used for one of the largest shows at the time, California Jam.
