Sold: The Snake Hipped One

There was a time when every popstar was a lizard skinned, bile spitting, static crackling, fakir swaying corrupter of adolescents.

There was a time when the dirt under the chewed fingernails glistened in spotlights as fiery fingertips pounded fretboards and Hepcat hillbillies stalked rough sawn stages, trousers of leather moulding around them, snake hipped, magnificent.

There was a time,
and then there wasn’t.

But maybe,
just maybe
it is time
for such a time
to return.

And if this is such a time-of-times, perhaps it is a good thing that The Jooky Guitar Emporium is proud to present only it’s third ever guitar amplifier, and that it happens to be known as The Snake Hipped One.

Like all of our products it is handmade and a complete one-off, and will make a fine gift for the guitarist in your life, even if that guitarist is you.

Especially if the guitarist is you.

The Snake Hipped One is built from a 1960s cigarette tin that has been covered with what we believe to be genuine Snake Skin. It boasts one of our dirty, spitting, most venomous Amy-Tone amps, housed lovingly in an England’s Glory matchbox, and plays it dirty from the off, unless you really start to make it angry, and you’d have to be a little mad to make a snake angry, in our opinion.

And we really have to say that this has got to be one of the most unusual guitar amps you’ll ever see, and as ever it is utterly unique even by our standards. To our knowledge there are only six of these tins anywhere in the world, and we have them all.

The Snake Hipped One is a perfect guitar case size and is a stripped down rocker of a practice amp, just plug in your guitar lead and play. It’s as simple as that.

The Snake Hipped One is only the third 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 for not a penny more.

Just to be clear, this is a unique, handmade guitar amplifier and only our third ever Guitar Amp and it is marked with the Serial Number: JGE#3, signed and dated by the maker and sure to be a collectors item. 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 something more mainstream like a Fender, Gibson or PRS, it is the amp that will be reached for most often.
