Phil Collen went backstage during a stop on the 2018 Def Leppard / Journey tour to give a video run-through of his Jackson guitars.
In the clip above, Collen tells the story behind everything from his 1986 silver crackle Soloist—“it’s in the ‘Women’ video and I played it on the record with ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me,’” he says—to the newer X-Stroyer and his PC-1 signature models.
Check out the video for more Collen guitars.
As previously reported, Def Leppard were recently nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band have shared a new holiday-themed single, an acoustic ballad titled "We All Need Christmas,” as well as announced two new releases for November 30.
