The process of selecting the tone on the guitar is an aesthetic process like any other, so you try a lot of different things.

Guitars are like women. You'll never get them totally right.

Guitars have been the obsession of my life. I first picked one up at the age of four and I've been a guitar junkie ever since.

What made me pick up a guitar? It weighed a lot less than a piano.

The flukey part of it is, back in the early days, I had that guitar decorated with all kinds of crap wallpaper, 'Flower Power' - then that got all shaved off. And during the course of cleaning the bass up again, some of the wood got shaved down, and it probably became a lighter body than the stock factory model.

I'm not a guitar collector. I own some guitars because I play.

I think guitar is the best thing in the world.

Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive.

The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.

I always use the same guitar; I got this guitar years and years ago for nine pounds. It's still got the same strings on it.
