Stephen Pearcy, endorsed by who?

[Jayster]

ok, this is bugging the shit out of me. Several years ago there was a small guitar company(can't remember thier name), they ensdorsed Stephen. I remember that there was a wierd headstock with an elongated u cut out of the middle, 3 a side tuners.... anyone remember who this company was?:think:

[tonemonster]

I am confused...........but I thought and endorsement deal was an artist endorsing a product, not a company endorsing and artist........

Am I right or wrong on this one??

Its a two way street. The artist gives the company a plug and the company compensates the artist in some form.

Maybe check the links at the bottom of his wiki entry? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Pearcy

Thanks Ron, I already hit those up! I spent a good 35 minutes looking for it before posting, I know there were ads in GFTPM however long ago. I'm guessing anywhere from 9-5 years ago....

I am further confused, i thought guitar endorsements were for guitar players, not lead singers. I'm sure he knows how to play the guitar, but what is the guy known for? What is the name of the company?, maybe we can all get one.

Yeah Tommy you're right!

During this time I forget which of his other bands he was in( vicious delight, vertex or solo). In those bands he fronted and played guitar.

I've still been scratching my head about who the hell it was(the guitar company). Oh well, maybe someday I'll remember or someone else will read this and be <Dude, that was xxxxxxx!>

Hey Jay, how about contacting the man himself? :idea:

Try http://www.unkguitars.com/
I remember thinking they looked like the original Kramer aluminium guitars.
Cheers!

Thanks Cdub, that's it exactly.

Stephen and the guitarist, Erik Ferentinos, from his solo band were both endorsed by UNK Guitars. I think there were some adds in recent Guitar World magazines for both of them, possibly within the last year. And yes, Stephen does play guitar. I've seen him play guitar live when he was with Arcade years ago and there are other pre-Ratt pics on his website of him playing.

And check out this article from Guitar International that talks about Stephen playing guitar, his new solo cd coming out, some info on Ratt, etc.

but what is the guy known for?

Stuffing socks down the front of his trousers so he could pretend he had a massive cock, I remember reading about it in Kerrang years ago.

[atomic charvel guy]

the band he was in after Ratt had some decent tunes, they were called Arcade, it wasn't too bad an effort.
Mother Blues is a good song.

Right on Tommy, I liked the riff in 'All shook up'. There was some good(and some not so good) material that Stephen did without Dimartini and Crosby.....
