I read an interview from years ago that her guitar used to be the guitar Eric Carmen used in The Raspberries.  It is a cool guitar.

I get goosebumps when I read words like these:
"lightweight slab mahogany body"

If I smoked, I'd go have a cigarette now.

"The classic, snarling growl of Jett's original Melody Maker is accurately captured by a single Gibson Burstbucker 3 zebra humbucker, slightly overwound with asymmetrical coils, unpolished Alnico II magnets, and all the punch and power of an original Gibson PAF pickup."

Unpolished? That's gonna make all the difference!

Either way, Chromium's chances are slim. Last I heard, Joan was from "the other team".

Could be, but she's always refused to discuss her private life.

Dave's still hopeful then. Ever the romantic.

"Dear Lord, before you lift me up with thee
Give me a woman with a Junior LP
Into a palace she will turn my hut
With that Gibson Doublecut"

And I didn't mention Apple's mum once!
