Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil is a self-confessed Stratocaster fiend – he even launched a Squier signature model back in 2009. But his love of Metallica, and the allure of the legendary ‘Greeny’ Les Paul now in the hands of Kirk Hammett, has seen its reissue model make its way onto the band’s latest album.
“The Strat is everything to me,” he says in the new issue of Guitar World. “My favorite model is the Michael Landau signature. I stumbled across one about 10 years ago, and it just spoke to me. That's the guitar I usually play in the studio, a reissue of his 1968 original.”
