didn't Dave Lindley like playing odd-ball and el cheapo guitars to get a signature sound?

Speaking of cheap sh*t equipment. I once had a Silvertone Amp, a model that is slightly famous among blues aficionados. I used it for guitar and bass - at the time I didn't have a lot of options.
We were playing a party one night and I was playing bass. Mid way through, I heard the speakers start to give these dying gasps. There were six of them when I started but only two when I finished...
I should have gotten a rifle and fired three volleys over it...

MUSICAL TRIVIA; 1977:
the guitar solo on the tune "Peg"
SOURCE: wikipedia
The song's guitar solo was attempted by seven top studio session guitarists ‒ including Robben Ford and recurring guitarist Larry Carlton (who wrote Room 335 because of the solo played by Graydon)[4]‒ before Jay Graydon's version became the "keeper".[5][6] He worked on the song for about six hours before the band was satisfied

The Rolling Stones lineup from the mid 70s (Ron Wood) all outlived the Ramones by many years and counting.
