Title: Machine Gun Guitar!
Post by: Johnny Mac on February 16, 2006, 05:51:57 PM: This is 'Lam Morrison' Thailands No1 guitar player. I saw him at the Rock Pub in Bangkok and he was pretty good. Check out his mad guitar!

I remember the guitarist in Robin Hytchc--k & the Egyptions had a rectangular guitar body with a cornflakes packet painted on it, that just looked wierd.

Colombian pop-rockers Juanes and Shakira are getting some, apparently Santana and Paul McCartney have put in requests. The missus (who's from Colombia) and I are off to see Juanes in London in March, so perhaps I'll get to find out how it sounds :)

I couldn't quite tell from the published photo what kind of pickup(s) it might have, but it kind of cries out for a Warpig :)
