Guitar Buyer Magazine (Mar. 2004)

-Once Again, Rea's illness marked a significant change in his musical life, even down to his choice of guitars, as he explains.
"Yeah, I decided to make Stony Road(2002), and I started doing something that I hadn't done in nearly 30 years. I started going to Denmark Street (guitar shop) on a Saturday.
"It was like being in a movie. I was saying to myself ' what have I been doing!?" For 20 years, most of us forgot what we were supposed to be doing. The goose that laid the golden egg-doing these huge European tours and doing a week at Wembley! And then I found this blue sparkly guitar and that was it for me. I thought it was an old guitar-I didn't know it was new."
The Blue sparkly guitar was a relatively cheap Italia model that Rea had stumbled across.~~~
~~~And you start to think that maybe there is a god. In terms of me playing and listening, it sounded almost identical to Pinky. But no buzz-not a sausage! To think that it's supposed to be a cheap guitar! So I immediately went adn got another three aroud Denmark Street. I had one for E straight, E tuning with capo and so on.
"Then when we did our first Stony Road gig, it was a Montreaux festival on blues night, and the guy from italia guitars had gone to the concert, and there on comes Chris Rea with four of his guitars. Anyway, he managed to talk his way through security and got to the dressing room, and he was in bits! I've played the best guitar of my life on that guitar".
