‘I always wanted a decent, big-bodied 12-string and was lucky enough to get hold of a jumbo Guild 12-string for a really good price. It’s the model linked to Pete Townshend and the one I think Jimmy Page used for Stairway To Heaven, and it’s a perfect partner to this six-string Guild F46, designed by George Gruhn. I wrote and recorded practically all of UnSung with this one.’
