Picture the scene. It’s the early days of teen music, the Ventures are hitting high with their super surf safari-esque guitar instrumentals, pounding this new rhythm out on shiny Fender Jazzmasters, blinding the world with the ultimate in cool from New York to Tokyo and back via Halesowen.
Shoot forward to the late Sixties, music has become aware, minds have been expanded, the fire of rebellion is in the air and yet, paisley is the backdrop as the young tune in to sounds of the east and west colliding with smiles on their faces and a hope for peace in their hearts…
Moving forward further yet, the alternative crowd are reclaiming all things offset from the bargain bins of guitar shops all over the world. They recognise the rhythm, merge it with their own times and people like the Pixies, Sonic Youth, The Cure and god knows who else breath fresh life into the old ways. Cool merges with groovy, groovy gets sharp and goth and indie lead to a slacker inspired grungy Nirvana. Their monkey has gone to heaven and the surf is back, the surf is flowing with the groovy and cool, the ironic and shonky and now even with the Jooky.
For that is what The Psychedelic Surf One is about, it is an offset guitar that nods at fifty, sixty years of musical history, doffing a purple cap at every legend that has made music their own. This isn’t a tribute guitar to any artist; this is one for them all.
To be clear, The Psychedelic Surf One is an utterly unique instrument, and there will never, ever, be another made. It is signed and numbered, entirely handmade and finished and groovier than a magic bus load of high schoolers.
