1952 Vincent Black Lightning - Richard Tompson

Let’s face it it was a tough job to be cooler than the front man:

Moped eyes - super furry animals

I don’t like cricket (I love it) /dreadlock holiday- 10cc

Get it while you can - Janis Joplin

Rocks - Primal Scream

The great gig in the sky - pink floyd

Pigs on the wing - pink floyd

Pretty in pink - psychedelic furs

Crying- Roy Orbison

Seven days of falling- EST

Dominion/Mother Russia - Sisters of Mercy

Stand and deliver- Adam and the ants

Or Frank Sidebottom!

Waterloo sunset- kinks

Whipping boy - Ben Harper

Master and servant - Depeche Mode

But do they close like a 1960’s BMW 507? I’ve not played a CS and am not really in the market for one so can’t accurately access their value or quality. From what I have seen online they do a lot of bespoke work some of which are vintage spec so won’t suit everyone’s taste or requirements.

Pump up the volume - MARRS

Possibly but I suspect some people would want to rip the guts out of a 50’s P as it wasn’t hot enough for their tastes.

There is no way to produce a perfect product that sounds great to everyone. Personally I don’t like the sound or look of Brian May’s guitar. Several hundred thousand disagree with me.

Run, run, run - velvet underground

I have never played a CS but expect the extra cash goes on man hours as they are “bespoke” instruments. TBH instruments are generally so well put together these days some aftermarket pickups and a good setup can make most of them sound and play pretty well. If people want to pay for a CS whether they are a “blues lawyer” or a pro musician it’s giving someone pleasure and keeping folk in work so that’s fine by me. Personally I will stick to MIJ Fenders as I haven’t found a duff one yet. Speaking of which the hunt goes on for a MIJ Duff Mckagan.

Motorcycle emptiness- Manic Street Preachers

Space oddity- Bowie
