Also, how did Boston get their guitar sound? We called it a ‘doubler,’ but it was the world’s first chorus – we just didn’t know it yet. That was in order to get my sound into stereo. I had two amps, and I put one on each side of the stage, wiring one direct to the guitar and the other through the chorus unit.

A DiMarzio Super Distortion pickup in the bridge position, and a vintage style P-90 in the neck, with traditional control layout. Period correct tune-o-matic bridge, and stopbar tailpiece, Schaller M6 tuners, all aged in nickel. Gold late ’60s top hat knobs with silver inserts; the guitar has no pickguard.
