Featuring a delightfully twisted Amy-tone amp housed in an England’s Glory matchbox (which itself proudly proclaims that it is made in Sweden for some reason), this baby goes crazy right from the off, like some kind of Stratford-upon-Avon based go-go dancer fresh from that nightclub over Argos just off the High Street that somebody must have mentioned to me somewhere down the line as I can’t otherwise possibly have any knowledge of it.
The amp though, it is carefully crafted, entirely hand-wired and is most definitely not made by Francis Bacon.
But don’t mistake the literary heritage for a lack of imagination, no, The Shakey Spear One has a touch of the sixties about it and perhaps never recovered from a psychedelic day trip to the Isle of Wight Festival that turned into a Hydroponics episode of a couple of decades. This trippyness is hinted at by the paisley of the speaker covering and a touch of free love, depicted by the illustration, if only it wasn’t for the balcony. And poison, of course.
The Shakey Spear One is only the fifth ever Jooky Cigar Box Amp we have made available and comes with a 9V battery and the trademark Jooky wrapping service, for a quite incredible £29 delivered anywhere in the UK.
Just to be clear, this is our fifth ever Cigar Box Amp and it is marked with the Serial Number: Jge#5. More importantly it is brilliant fun and we are quite sure that whether you or the guitarist in your life plays a Cigar Box Guitar or even a guitar that is more mainstream like a Gibson Nighthawk or something else that happens to be quite pointy, it is the amp that will be reached for most often.
