Wonderful to see that guitar again. I shared the bill with The Pirates on a couple of occasions back in the late 70s and remember Mick playing it through a Marshall stack and it was glorious. We were playing with them on an Irish tour in Dublin and I remember standing in the wings listening and watching everything he did, amazed as he sounded like two guys playing at once. Thanks for posting this!

Nice one @jamesoliver1234, that's great that Brad got in touch. I also remember seeing and hearing The Pirates many years ago. Two gigs at the Top Rank in Cardiff. I was mesmerised/gobsmacked/blown away by Mick's playing.

Nice on, James.

Part of me hoped that if you're a guitarist, you play a Fender and your surname is Green that you'd name your son Foam or Sea.

Brad seems like a very nice chap.
