Steely Dan guitarist turned session legend Jeff “Skunk” Baxter has weighed in on the cheap electric guitar debate, revealing he recorded a disco classic with a budget electric guitar that he bought for less than $50. “In terms of value for money, that would be a Burns Baby Bison guitar that I bought for 35 bucks,” he says. Popular bargain builds in the mid to late '60s, Burns guitars often boasted strange body woods like sycamore. Baxter went ahead with the trade, and he has previously stated that a six-pack of beer was also included in the deal. “I ended up using it on the Donna Summer album [Bad Girls on Hot Stuff],” he says.
