Music video by Ted Nugent performing Cat Scratch Fever (audio). (C) 1977 Epic Records, a division of Sony Music Entertainment #TedNugent #CatScratchFever #Vevo. The story of Ted Nugent using an early Sixties brown Fender Deluxe to record 'Cat Scratch Fever' has become modern guitar folklore. Over the last three decades or so, dozens of books and magazine features have repeated this tale, often citing it as an example—along with similar accounts of Jimmy Page's Supro and Eric Clapton's Champ—of how a small amp can deliver big sounds in the.
