Did Satriani play with Deep Purple and was lead guitarist for Mick Jagger? If not, then this description looks wrong :/

EDIT: Verified the Deep Purple part

Aye, and aren't Elevation guitars worth about a fiver? Wouldn't piss on one, let alone sign one.

Good point! I think Argos sell them.

I just think that it's absolutely crazy they charge more for an Amy Winehouse guitar than an AC/DC guitar. Even though she passed away, still seems a bit of a far cry to me.

Yep, he played with Deep Purple after Blackmore left (again) and before Steve Morse joined.  And he toured with Jagger in the late '80s.

The guitar is still a piece of shite, unfortunately.

The fact that it doesn't have a built in amplifier is a total deal breaker for me.
