There's a couple of YouTube vids where Billy Duffy talks about his original White Falcon and his signature one. He does talk about how it's a guitar you can't be afraid of, you need big hands and the right attitude to play properly, I quite like that idea.

Even if it did turn out Electric was recorded with a Les Paul and a Marshall.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

I think it was more so in the uk, as they have a stigma about them being only good for Rockabilly etc.
