"This black-and-white classic says, ‘I’ve played “Smoke on the Water” more times than I can count.’”
It’s the go-to starter guitar that dreams big — one day it’s in your bedroom, the next it’s headlining your neighbor’s barbecue. The kind of axe that makes you believe you too could be the next Clapton… until your amp cuts out mid-solo.
Basically, it’s a six-string gateway drug — the first hit’s cheap, but the addiction lasts a lifetime.
