Andy Summers The Police: Rig Rundown! Exclusive at his London House

Andy Summers Police Rig Rundown!
After Hank Marvin officially opened the Fender Artist & Research Centre in Kensington in West London, I sent a Channel Four film crew to Andy’s studio in his house in North London to talk about his phenomenal career, owning 3 of only 8 Les Paul’s that existed in London in the sixties that exploded the careers of Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Paul Kossoff, Mick Taylor, Pete Townshend, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Those Les Paul’s that went through Andy’s hands made London the centre of the world, kicked off the British Invasion that rebirthed the blues via London, revolutionised music and changed the lives of working class Art Students who coveted these six string weapons that lifted them out of poverty and onto the world stage to great acclaim and success. Arpeggiating’ Every Breath You Take and Walking on the Moon! I made him a part of the Fender Britpack of luminary artists that rebranded Fender and rebuilt the brand with a new $22m factory, and made a clone of his legendary Tele Custom and kicked around some ideas for combining his photography with a custom tele finish all before breakfast in 1986
