I love that guy's suggestion that the guitar is 'bound to rocket in value'.....

Hey, Keith - do you remember Lon saying how he amplified his guitar with a Spitfire pilot's throat-mic? It's a typical 'tall story' - at best, the mic would have come from one of those armed-forces surplus equipment stores that proliferated on the Edgware Road in post-war years, but its original purpose would be almost impossible to establish.

Only Lon could 'elevate' its origins to 'Battle Of Britain' status!
