Fantastic Negrito expresses his deep connection with the Epiphone Inspired by “1966” Century Archtop, describing it as a "common man's guitar" that resonates with his unique sound. In an interview featured on Epiphone's website, he explains that while he had offers from other brands like Gibson, he felt the Epiphone was more accessible and authentically aligned with his style. The guitar's character—"old and beautiful and ugly and dirty"—mirrors his own artistic spirit, making it his instrument of choice.

It felt like a common man's guitar and that's what I wanted and that's why I love Epiphone. It sounds like those guitars Robert Johnson was playing. Time went on and different people were offering me guitars. Gibson offered me guitars. And I thought, well Gibson is nice but the Epiphone sounded more accessible. It sounded uglier (laughs). That's my sound. My hand is like the claw. The sound reminded me of me! The guitar, like me is shouting (waves his fists in the air): "I will not die!" It's old and beautiful and ugly and dirty. It's just so sweet baby!
