Great photo that my friend Richie Malone Music posted recently. This was taken during the recording sessions of the Backbone album in Francis Rossi's recording studio.
I built Richie's Cobra guitar in 2016, and the natural ash guitar for Francis in 2018.
Richie also has another of my guitars, which is a Rick Parfitt replica, although it had various disguises for live use in Quo, as to not cause confusion.
It was a birthday gift from his father quite a few years before Richie joined Quo, and has played every gig since.
You can see a video of him and Rick doing A/B guitar swaps at a soundcheck on Richie's YouTube channel.
