While promoting his latest record, 2025’s Gentō – a collaborative effort with Tangerine Dream’s Thorsten Quaeschning (released under the Bioscope moniker) – Marillion’s Steve Rothery took a moment to dial in with Guitar World to reflect upon his three most important guitars.
And yes, Marillion fans – Rothery’s ’99 tobacco burst Blade RH-4 is on the list. In fact, Rothery says it’s the guitar he’d rush in to save if the building – whatever building that might be – were burning down. “I’ve got maybe eight or nine Blade guitars,” he says. “Not one of them is the same as that one.”
