Description: I have no idea, no forethought or plan. I hadnt appreciated just how bad this is, I would take it off....but I'm not going to. His trademark instrument is the rectangular-bodied Gretsch nicknamed The Twang Machine guitar that he developed and wielded in thousands of concerts over the years (although he has had other similar-shaped guitars made for him by other manufacturers). In a 2005 interview on JJJ radio in Australia, Bo Diddley implied that the design was born from embarrassment. In an early gig, he was jumping around on stage with a Gibson L5 guitar and he landed awkwardly, hurting his groin. He then went about designing a smaller, less restrictive guitar so he could keep jumping around. |
