Sold: The Groovy One

We’re thinking about sipping Electric Kool Aid, riding a Magic Bus, chasing White Rabbits, visiting Atlantis in a Yellow Submarine, tripping the light, chasing rainbows, coming in colour and tagging on the end of yet another Majiikal Mystery Store. Yep, we’re thinking about the Psychedelic Sixties all over again, mining foney nostalgic thoughts of kaftans and religious cults, gurus and gondolas, painted Minis, flowers in our hair and beads, man there were beads. I have so many beads; you really couldn’t comprehend the beads I’ve seen.



And the scene, man what a scene, what an electric acid-fried, kaftan wearing white rabbit of a scene, chasing Alice now, chasing Dragons later. It’s groovy, and cool and fried and man, it is so psychedelically acid-fried real, ships fly to inches from your nose, the auras man, I can see, no I can feel your energy. I’m feeling cool man, I’m feeling groovy. And it’s Arthur Lee Forever Changing, and it is Jimi Hendrix, always Jimi for the search engines, Jimi wrapped in paisley, Jimi wrapped in tie-dye, Jimi wrapped in other people limbs. And it is the Beatles, and the Stones and Brian, this one’s for Brian, and it is the Grateful Dead, thinking about the Dead and Zappa, getting cynical, getting into marketing and selling, trying to sell you something warm, and west coast sunny, Pet Soundy and rainbow drenched rabbits. Feelin’ cool, Feelin’ Groovy.

The Groovy One is a step back to a simple, raw sound. Single P90 pickups, Woodstock ready Paisley acid fried finish, utterly gorgeous to play, beautiful to see. You should buy it. Really.

To be clear, The Groovy One is an utterly unique guitar, and there will never, ever, be another made. It is signed and numbered, entirely hand built and finished cooler than a beatnik on blotting paper. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
