Hide incorrect submissions

In a 2012 interview with Vintage Guitar Clarke stated:

"With Motorhead, I used a Stratocaster because it gave me a little bit of edge."

He also says in the same article: "Live, these days, I’ve been enjoying the Stratocaster. It’s got a little more versatility. My Stratocaster had a DiMarzio X2N in the bridge, a DiMarzio SDS-1 in the front, and a Fender pickup in the middle. I just added a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge. It gives me a tad more edge."
