Urge late critic developed to get instrument (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
electric guitar
'instrument' is the definition.
(electric guitar is a kind of instrument)
'urge late critic developed' is the wordplay.
'developed' is an anagram indicator.
'urge'+'late'+'critic'='urgelatecritic'
'urgelatecritic' is an anagram of 'ELECTRIC GUITAR'.
'to get' is the link.
(Another definition for electric guitar that I've seen is " Musical instrument".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
