Unveiling the Iconic Artwork and Unique Guitar Story Behind Steve Miller Band's 'Fly Like An Eagle
Steve Miller Band's album "Fly Like An Eagle" is a standout in the band's discography, featuring hit songs like "Rock'n Me" and "Take The Money And Run". The album's iconic artwork, depicting Steve Miller playing an upside-down black Stratocaster, has become synonymous with the band's image. Miller adopted Jimi Hendrix's technique of stringing a left-handed guitar like a right-handed one, resulting in the unique placement of the guitar's controls. The guitar featured on the album cover was one of two left-handed Strats that Hendrix had ordered but never picked up. Despite the guitar's theft, the white Stratocaster used in recording the album remains in Miller's possession. The album's distinctive sound and artwork continue to captivate fans and showcase Miller's innovative approach to guitar playing.
