Stephen Drozd of The Flaming Lips is used to thinking more off-the-wall than off-the-peg when it comes to electric guitars. He is, after all, the guitarist in a psychedelic rock band marshalled by Wayne Coyne – a frontman who performs bathed in paint, amid explosions of streamers and, failing that, in a Zorb.
This theory is borne out in Drozd’s new rig tour with Premier Guitar, in which he shows off his Epiphone G-1275 Doubleneck – a guitar has been so heavily modded it is now a single-neck 11-string. It is, he notes, predominantly used in “destruction mode”.
