Sold: The Loveless One

The seventies was a hard time – high unemployment, school leavers going into meaningless courses or straight onto the dole, crime going through the roof, the country on its knees, the banks ringing their caravans as often as their brokers, the government in disarray.

Rather a lot like now in fact.

It was a soulless time, an angry time and the riots of the early eighties just around the corner were being heralded by the escapism of music that itself was reflecting the times with a veneer of glam, an angry punk sound.

The Loveless One captures the mood of the Seventies with it’s bare bones Rock sound and angry, spit-in-your-face attitude, all hidden below a shiny façade of gold that is slowly melting away, corroding to show the seedy side of life beneath. The P90 pickup at the neck is pure angry and dirty sex; the Gibson humbucker at the Bridge has been modified to replicate the Classic T-Top pickups of the era. The sound is deep and dirty, slimy and as greasy as the barnet on a hell’s angel.

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