"In America, if you looked in the old pawnshops...I found a fifteen dollar guitar, a Danelectro and I recorded "A Million Miles Away" and "Cradle Rock" on that guitar. So I spotted these things earlier than others. Now it's different, because everyone's sharp: they see you coming! When you say 'Can I have a look at that Danelectro?', they think: 'Oh, this guy is from Europe, he can afford to pay a thousand dollars.'" -- Rory Gallagher.
The fifteen dollar guitar would later be sold at auction for about £20,000
