The threepence.

Each of our guitars has a truss rod cover with an inlaid silver coin, a British 1914 silver threepence that's over 100 years old.

​

Our threepence entered circulation at the start of the First World War and were still in use through World War 2. These tiny silver coins would have been an everyday  part of the lives of  generations who lived and died in those conflicts.

​

And that's the reason we've given you a  tiny, tangible link and reminder of the people we used to be; the people we were perhaps lucky not to have been born to be.

 

Our threepence is a symbol of a divisive and brutal past but also a time when, and despite all of that, people shared similar hopes and dreams to our own. People who loved life and were brought together and celebrated living through the arts and music. 

​

So it's a simple message. We want our guitars AND YOU to bring people together, not tear the world apart. Don't be an arsehole, plenty of elected political leaders have that cornered already. Make music, not war.
