Hynde is dismissive of her guitar-playing abilities, but that’s because she values songwriting above virtuosity-one reason her best songs are so good. Here’s an Amazon link to where you can buy Last of the Independents. Its shortcomings probably contributed to the failure of the commercial adventure responsible. Hynde is photographed on its front sleeve design posing with a thinline semi-acoustic with a hair-metallish droopy-and-pointy headstock.Īfter rather-more-convoluted searching than I had hoped, I found out exactly what model of guitar from this forum, where commenters are not positive about the quality of the instrument itself. Colors were black, white, red and cherry sunburst.Ī few months later, the heads, like the USA Kramer lines, were changed to the pointy/droopy variety and diamond inlays in the fretboard.ĭespite some disturbing lyrics* and a weak and predictable “political” track, and despite the album not having been made a by a “real band”-it’s mostly Chrissie Hynde and Adam Seymour and different session rhythm sections-one of my favourite Pretenders albums is Last Of The Independents.
These sported thin bound front and back bodies, off-round sound hole, bolt on maple necks, banana headstocks, rosewood fretboards, and a passive transducer pickup mounted on the bridge with a volume and tone control on the upper horn of the body. The first batch of Ferringtons were offered in 1986, the KFS-1 (Strat shape and the KFT-1 (Tele shape). These guitars were heavily advertised by big names such as and Dweezil Zappa. The idea was to have an acoustic with the feel of an electric.
Ferrington designed all of the models of the Kramer Ferrington lines and Kramer had the majority of them made in Korea. In 1985-86, Kramer began its relationship with Danny Ferrington, the Nashville-based luthier who built several guitars for celebrities and, himself had became a reputable reputation for new designs of electric/acoustic guitars. It was surprisingly difficult to find the answer to the question in the title of this Post, so, to save other people the wander around the Internet that it cost me, and to get straight to the point, here is the answer: It’s a Kramer Ferrington.
