Sold: The Jangly One

Picture the scene, you step onto a stage surrounded by white rabbits, slip your square, purple shades onto the end of the bridge of your nose and breath in the fumes of a field full of flower haired free lovers. It’s quite a sight, you look around and realise, yeah, it’s time to Jangle in the sun.

The Jangly One is pure and simple, ‘60s psychedelia, from it’s jingle jangle roots, to the acid fried paisley design – like an explosion in a batik mill - all the way down to the hand crafted and enamelled scratchplate. Based on a Danelectro ’59, it has all the sounds you’d expect, but with a bit more oomph thanks to Uncle kent Armstrong, who is probably missing the fun in a workshop near Dudley. Who knows?

*


To be clear, The Jangly 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 Maharishi in shades. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.

thank god this has been sold - I've been very tempted - although The Daisy Jook One is beginning to look very tempting.
