Hey Frank, Procreate allows for a number of digital techniques that you’d be able to do in real life. For example, I created the sunburst gradient by using an “airbrush” brush that allows me to do fine blending. It’s an amazing program.

While Strummer and his guitar may not be most famous for his actual performance on the Tele, it has become synonymous with punk, progressive political movements, and the social consciousness that The Clash introduced into the genre alongside the anarchistic Sex Pistols and the agnostic Ramones. Today, we'll detail the history of the used, abused, and instantly recognizable Tele owned by John Graham Mellor aka Joe Strummer.

Pete Townshend is known for his aggressive showmanship, which includes his “windmill” strumming technique and destruction of his instruments. This guitar was one of nine numbered guitars used on tour with the Who in 1975, each set to specific tunings and capo settings for various songs. This organization, along with a customized strap-lock system, was developed by Townshend’s guitar tech Alan Rogan. The headstock for this instrument snapped off after a December 23, 1975, show at London’s Hammersmith Odeon as the guitar came flying out of a second-story window, breaking into two pieces when it hit the ground. In 2002, the body and headstock were reunited and restored by luthier Cristian Mirabella.

From blistering British Invasion beginnings through a long and acclaimed solo career of remarkable stylistic versatility, Jeff Beck has taken the Stratocaster to unbelievable sonic heights, with one of the most distinctive musical voices ever coaxed from the instrument. With classic style and special features, make his sound and style your own with the Jeff Beck Stratocaster, which ranks among Fender's most popular and longstanding artist instruments.

The ‘Arm the Homeless’ decal and the guitar’s smiling hippo graphics were added by Tom Morello. “We were set to play at the Whisky [a Go Go] and, just before going over to soundcheck, I scrawled ‘Arm the Homeless’ on the guitar. I liked the juxtaposition of that kind of provocative and militant situationist slogan with those four smiling hippopotamuses all facing in one direction.”

Rhoads story with Jackson began in late 1980 when he contacted Grover Jackson about wanting to design a distinctive new guitar. Jackson and Rhoads met just before Christmas that year and quickly designed the guitar together the “original” Jackson way—by literally sketching it on a paper napkin. The result, dubbed the Concorde, was a sleek white guitar with an offset V-shape, neck-through-body construction and, for the first time, Jackson’s own name on the headstock. Although the Concorde truly was the first Jackson guitar and there are many photos of Rhoads playing it, it was eventually rejected in favor of a second version with many features suggested by Rhoads himself (only seen in a few photos of Rhoads taken just months before his death). This second model became the legend—the very first of the model known and revered worldwide ever since as the Jackson Rhoads.

Brian May and his father Harold started to hand-build an electric guitar in 1963 – a project that would take over a year to complete. Brian dreamed of a guitar that would outperform any of the existing commercially-made electric guitars; his father had the technical knowledge and skills to help make the dream come true. The book describes in detail the creative lengths father and son went to in order to construct the guitar. They were incredibly resourceful, using any materials they could get their hands on; the neck of the guitar was constructed from wood from an 18th-century fireplace mantel that a friend of the family was about to throw away and each of the position inlays was hand shaped from a mother-of-pearl button. Previously unseen original sketches, diagrams and notes accompany the text. For the last 50 years The Red Special has been the guitar that Brian played on every Queen album, in all of Queen’s live shows around the world and on the most special of occasions.

Terry Kath's main guitar - the one with which he is most identified, and which accompanied him on the journey to cult status - is a most unusual 1966 Telecaster, completely customized and plastered with stickers. Kath was so attached to the guitar that he'd buy a seat just for the instrument when traveling by air, rather than entrusting it to airline baggage handlers or even Chicago's road crew. The Tele® was an amalgamation of highly personalized modifications, including a sawed-off Tele bridge with a synchronized Strat® tremolo, a humbucking neck pickup, custom body routes, a reverse control plate, custom tuning machines and three "wing" string trees. Adorned with Pignose stickers and other intricately placed regalia, the guitar has become legendary in of itself and is synonymous with Kath and his enduring musical legacy.

When Jimmy Page formed Led Zeppelin in 1968, the Dragon Telecaster became Page’s go-to instrument and he played it onstage and in the studio until 1969, wrote Brad Tolinski in Light & Shade: Conversations With Jimmy Page. The instrument was the main guitar used on Led Zeppelin and was later used to record the iconic solo for “Stairway to Heaven."

Aptly nicknamed “Frankenstein,” this guitar was pieced together by Eddie Van Halen from modified factory seconds and mismatched odd-lot parts, then spray-painted. It represents an effort to combine some of the most desirable elements of Gibson and Fender guitars into a single instrument that was not commercially available at the time. Van Halen was continually striving to achieve the ultimate guitar for tone, playability, dependability, and functionality. The unique guitar embodies not only his groundbreaking and unorthodox playing style but also his ingenuity in design and engineering. One of the most recognizable guitars of all time, it spawned legions of copies from other manufacturers and inspired generations of fans to design their own instruments.

“The polka dots are because that’s the style of my mother, Isabell Guy,” Buddy told a writer in an unpublished excerpt for an interview in 2015.  “There’s a long story behind that,” he says. “I promised her that I was going to buy her a polka dot Cadillac to make her feel better, because she had had a stroke and she never saw me play, so I always felt I was lying to her about being a musician! I was going to get famous and drive back to Louisiana in a polka dot Cadillac to show her I’d made it.”

Sometime between the 1967 Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band sessions and the June 25 live global telecast of “All You Need is Love,” Harrison’s beloved Stratocaster morphed into what the world now knows as “Rocky.” In a fit of inspiration, he grabbed a brush and some Day-Glo paint to give the instrument a multicolored psychedelic makeover. Instead of the iconic Sonic Blue finish, its top and headstock were now adorned with bright red, green, yellow and orange accents, making it truly stand out on stage. Harrison even painted “Bebopalula” on the upper body, “Go Cat Go” on the pickguard and Rocky on the headstock in December of 1969.
