And so, you come off the platform – rabid applause cushioning your jump from the stage, to the side of the dance floor. You look at the primitive spotlights, see condensed sweat dripping from them, sizzling like fairy dust. You wipe your GI glasses on the front of your soaking frilled shirt, smile a crooked smile as for the first time in your life the girls are looking at you as anything other than a geek. You talk with your hands, but never let go of the guitar around your neck, curled wire flipped over your shoulder. You’d invented Rock ‘n’ Roll together, what could ever come between you again?

The Twangy One is the sound of the birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Scotty Moore, Duane Eddy, Eddie Cochran, that twanging, singing tone reverberating around you as you stomp and thump. But it is also much more than that, the tone down you can hit a country Tele sound as well as the Fil’tron-esque delights that come so easily. More twiddling of the silver knobs takes you into a bluesy-jazzy tone for those BB King moments, all the way through to Seventies Rock and the sharp noise of what came next. This is a stunning looking guitar with a range of sounds you’d never expect to be popping on out of a Strat.
The Twangy One, is a Strat with two Kent Armstrong ‘Kentron’ humbucking pickups. Controls are Les Paul-like, with twin volumes and tone knobs and a three-way switch. The tuners are Split Kluson types and the finish is pure, unadulteratedly Jookified Paisley.
To be clear, The Twangy 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 Buddy Holly. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
