LIGHT SHOW GUITARS

“Based on the 330, the 331 Light Show Guitar is part of the Capri series,” Martin tells us. “Rickenbacker also]. Roger McGuinn had one of only two 331-12s that were made. The idea was taken to F.C. Hall in 1969 by a couple of guys called Stephen Woodman and Marshall Arm. Hall was always keen on bringing in new ideas and the pair suggested, ‘What about making these speaker cabinets with lights inside them? They flash in time with what you’re playing.’ F.C. then suggested, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, but what if you put the bulbs inside the guitar?’ And that’s how the Light Show Guitar was born.
