Crossword Genius

Regulate critic playing instrument (8,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

electric guitar

'instrument' is the definition.
(electric guitar is a kind of instrument)

'regulate critic playing' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'regulate'+'critic'='regulatecritic'
'regulatecritic' with letters rearranged gives 'ELECTRIC GUITAR'.

(Another definition for electric guitar that I've seen is " Musical instrument".)
