How did you find that instrument in the first place?
I was very lucky. I got a real **Les Paul deluxe* when I was 15, and then with the money I had saved from the two real jobs I had as a youngster, I bought a little SG Junior. I was noticing that if you play an interesting chord with a distorted sound, the harmonics of the distortion would make the chord disappear. So I thought what I’d do is get a semi-acoustic so I’d still have the electric sound, put a little contact pickup on it and I’ll mix an acoustic sound with it. I came across an old Gibson catalog, saw one of those types of guitar, and went, ‘Look at that! What a beautiful looking guitar!’ I found one in London for 40 pounds, plugged in and the sound was just there.*
