1968 Mosrite
Joe Maphis Double Neck
Daniel Gallagher:
“He liked Joe Maphis, but this is definitely out of the ‘looks cool’ section as opposed to anything that was particularly useful! He’d no doubt have gone, ‘That looks mad… four pickups – okay, just break off the tremolo arm and we’ll be sorted!…I could never imagine Rory being a double-neck player live. For someone like Jimmy Page, it’s obviously cool as hell, but for Rory it’s just a bit too pompous. So I think part of it must have been Rory thinking, ‘Yeah, okay, they do look cool… but I can’t get a fancy Gibson one! I’ve gotta get the Mosrite!’”
