  • What's the deal with the Hot Wheels graphic?

    What's the history with the hot wheels flames. Was there a player that had that back in the day (kinda like George Lynch and the bengal graphic)?
    Or was just popular choice in the early 80s.

    HOT WHEELS! Damn, son, ain't you never had no play cars? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

    Seriously, Wayne was a Hot Rod freak, and Hot Wheels was the ultimate Hot Rod toy car maker, and when they hit the blue/orange/yellow/red flame combo, it was only natural to put it on a guitar [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
    At least that's how I understand it.
    Mattel officially endorsed a Strat at one time with that graphic, but it had the cheesy Hot Wheels and Mattel logos.
