There's an actual story to that guitar. You all know that "Bad for Good" is centred around the legend of Peter Pan? How it's set in the modern day? Jim intended this album to be a "concept" for a multi-million dollar movie version (called "Neverland") which was to be directed by Steven Spielberg. One of Peter's many weapons was a cosmic, superhuman guitar that made unearthly and powerful noises - even killed its enemies with "searing glissandos" - and they even show the guitar on the front cover of the album. The solo in "Stark Raving Love" is actually (theatrically) Peter experimenting with this great weapon. I think it rox!!
