Mick Ralphs' Gear
Mick Ralphs used a Marshall Plexi 1959SLP, as he mentioned in a GuitarPlayer interview that during his time with Mott the Hoople, he often played his guitar "through a 100-watt Marshall amp," which aligns with the specifications of the Marshall Plexi 1959SLP.
Mick Ralphs, the guitarist known for his work with Mott the Hoople and Bad Company, is confirmed to have used a 1958 Fender Stratocaster. According to GuitarPlayer, Ralphs acquired this guitar in America from a country-and-western singer in Cleveland. He described the Stratocaster as "a horrible ice-blue" but noted its appeal due to "a lovely maple neck."
