'

The Shelf ' is a Frankenstein guitar. Made from dead guitars and electricity passed through it.

This is John's papier mache semi acoustic guitar. He made it in 1986 out of chicken wire, glue and copies of The Melody Maker. It's another Frankenstein guitar. The neck and 2 pick ups are from a dead Vox Marauder. Tuners are from a dead Hofner Galaxy. 3rd pick up is from a dead Ampeg. The bridge is from a dead Jedson and the tailpiece is a mystery.

Along with The Shelf, these are John's two main gigging guitars.

Born in 1965 John grew up on the banks of the River Thames in Deptford, S.E. London.

He played in the mud of Deptford 'Beach' and the bomb sites of WWII and by the age of ten he was playing blues guitar.

In 1987 he moved to a shed on the Isles of Scilly, then to Orkney and is now based back on the mainland in Edinburgh.

Albums are £10.00 each +p&p. Email for details & bookings.
