So I set out to make a slide guitar that would pay homage to those blues artists of the past.
England native, Phil Jones is a natural born electronics/audio geek.

As a child he raided dumpsters in search of old tv’s and radios that he could dissect and turn into amplifiers. He even collected old tobacco tins, turning them into hand built stomp boxes!

Although not this model, It appears these same guitars were imported into UK with the VOX brand.
Now that we’ve grabbed your attention, you may be surprised to find that it’s not that easy to write responsibly about a guitar with a shapely woman’s derriere replacing quilted maple on the top, but we’ll give it the old college try.
