“John Entwistle and I were at the Rainbow talking about all the guitars we had. We looked at each other and said, ‘You know… we’re idiots’”: Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter says he’s going to hell for owning too many guitars – and some of the best ones are dirt cheap

In this instalment of Bought & Sold, we sit in with session legend Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter to talk all things electric guitar, from pickup and amp preference to his gear-buying advice, and hear some of his regrets along the way.
