In the light of Joe Satriani possibly jumping ship from Peavey to Marshall for his amplification needs as reported over on Music Radar last week, we thought, just for fun, that we´d make a list of his endorsements over the years just to see how many entries we´d come up with.
Four days later, we´re still compiling a list, not just of Joe´s deals but as many people we could think of as we found our on-line research took many twists and turns, leading us towards a number other players...
So, there follows an in no way complete list of selected guitarists and their signature equipment that´s been made available for punters to buy over the years: not necessarily the stuff they use but gear that bears their name.
Additions, corrections and omissions, as ever, gratefully received...and hey, this is only supposed to be a bit of fun
