Eddie Clarke's Guitars
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."

"My main guitar is the Les Paul Deluxe I used with Fastway in the ’80s."
