Q Who made the Baseball-bat guitar you play on 'Centerfield'?
A The Bat-guitar was made by Geoff Richardson and Phil Kubicki for the Zombie Tour. At that time, Fogerty was using several custom guitars made by Kubicki along with other guitars modified by Hideo Kamimoto, a great luthier. You can hear the Kubickis on the CENTERFIELD and ZOMBIE releases.
The Bat-guitar has no peg head, the string tuning is done at the bridge, just like Steinberger guitars. Bat-guitar has 3 Seyour Duncan pickups and a shortened neck, I'm not sure of the scale but it is missing quite a few high end frets.
This information came from Geoff Richardson personally
