Peter Tosh - Johnny B. Goode (long version)

Today's Classic Reggae/Dub Corner... Peter's strange guitar! 
In LA, in '83, on Tosh's tour of this very album, a local musician named Bruno Coon went to the hotel at which Tosh was staying, claiming to have a gift for him. The gift was a custom-built guitar in the shape of an M16 rifle, and Tosh accepted the gift personally. The guitar was subsequently lost by the airlines when the tour went to Europe but was recovered when Tosh's public relations agent placed an article about its loss in Der Spiegel. Tosh went on to perform on stage with that guitar.
