At least you got paid. I made like fifty bucks doing commercials.
Oh yes I got paid, I remember wandering if to cash that check or not, it had the Paramount logo on it and I thought if I frame it would make a good souvenir but I cashed it and bought a Japanese guitar called Electra
with a fay shifter built in powered by a 9V internal battery, an effect widely used at the time.
BTW I still have that guitar the shifter unfortunately got fried in an outdor gig between sets in a downpour while the guitar was on stage on a stand and I was at the bar getting a drink.
I rushed to the rescue but by the time I got there I saw a little puff of smoke coming out of the built in module.
Fotunatelly I always bring 2 guitars and in those days I had a 12 strings on stage as well, the gig went ahead without further hitch minus the shifter.
