with Les streaming off beautiful solos. If you get a chance to see any of them they are a scream. One of my favourite quotes from him is: The electric guitar was laughed at. They called me the character with the broomstick with pickups on it. It was terrible. Before we came along the guitar was an apologetic wimp -- the weakest, most unimportant guy in the band. As soon as we put a pickup on him, and a volume control, he became the king. The best electric guitarist of all time -- Peter Green (see picture left) used a 1959 LP custom sunburst to great effect. He accidently modified it by flipping his top pickup magnets after cleaning it once (so legend goes). The sound he got -- that honky treble out-of-phase squawk when the top and bottom pickups were used together defined the late 1960s blues sound (when Fleeetwood Mac was really Fleetwood Mac). Danny Kirwan (the other great Fleetwood Mac player) used one of the earlier (mid-1950s) gold top LP custom guitars. This is what Peter Green sounded like in the late 1960s -- playing Oh Well . When Peter Green went AWOL with mental illness in the early 1970s he sold his LP guitar to Irish player Gary Moore for virtually nothing. It has recently been resold by Moore for a very large sum. This is what is sounded like in 2007 after Moore had sold it. Anyway, while I have been a Fender player (Stratocaster)
