Sold: The Peace Train One

The Peace Train One moves our Jooky journey forward, away from the Paisley and into a full-on flower powered, love story of an acid fried generation. Peace signs and a hallucinogenic finish beam like the Love, Love, Love generation, and a whiff of incense brings back George playing his Rocky guitar, John and Paul in Pepperdom and Ringo with his Yellow Submarine in the bath at number 48.

The Peace Train One isn’t just a fancy finish though, it has a darker almost Seventies side beneath it’s scratchplate and all manner of switches and knobs above it.

For built in to this pacifistic innocent, is a Lou Reed sleazy dirt beneath, with pulsating auto-wah and filthy distortion just the flick of a switch away, to take you from the neon lights of Carnanby Street direct to the rain sodden time-stained sodium of Berlin's seedy underbelly...

To be clear, The Peace Train 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 Perfect Day. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
