My weapon of choice is a MusicMan S.U.B. 1 Guitar HH emergenza special edition, some friends of mine won back in the days while taking part in a band contest (around 2006). Neither of them wanted to play it, so I got it stupidly cheap…lucky Marshall!!!
I’d always loved Les Paul double cuts. In the early 2000s when everyone was playing PRSs, the Les Paul standard double cut was a cheaper alternative (still about £1000+ but still a cheaper alternative).
I’d heard Gibson were putting out yellow double cuts for super cheap, so I saved up and got one! I loved the matt finish, it made it easier to play! The budget also meant that it had crap paint, which wears away easily, which is why it now looks older than it is!

Every month, the Lockjaw Crew will be sharing our hidden gems from the depths of the Lockjaw distro. Whether you’re discovering a new band or rekindling an old flame, give them a listen and let us know what you think. It’s exciting to see all the new music being released this year, but it’s easy […]
I’ve been using this guitar since 2015. It was gifted to me by my best mate Judy Foster. I’d gone to the bog and when I came back, she’d ordered it for me. I’ve barely put it down since (the guitar, not the bog).
It’s the only guitar I use in all of my bands, The Affect Heuristic and No Contest.
The most rewarding thing about this thriving music scene that we’re a part of is meeting people who share our enthusiasm for all things live and loud. So that you can come and grab us for a chat, we thought we ought to tell you where we are!
We’ll be bringing you a monthly update from the Lockjaw Team with our recommendations, tribulations and gig schedules.
I’ve only ever used one guitar for The Wonder Beers – my faithful old Squire Stratocaster.
When we started the band in 2012 I had an Ibanez AX – great guitar, just not right for the punk sound we were going for so I started looking for other options. I asked around a bunch of mates if anyone had anything lying around that they weren’t using and didn’t mind me borrowing on a long term basis.
Happy Halloween 😱 Fair Do’s scared the bejeezus out of us with their new video for ‘Candleman’, feat. Death and DCI Burnside 🐕 💎 Pick up some vinyl or merch from the store 💎https://lockjawrecords.co.uk/product-category/band/fair-dos/
Hey guys. My main axe currently is a variant of the ESP Eclipse series. Traditionally, most guitarists regard those Eclipses to be a super metal version of a Les Paul, but the one I picked up has a cool classic-meets-modern vibe.
I bought it for recording our most recent album Exiled as well as to use it for touring. Being a lefty drastically reduced my options when it came to picking a new guitar; luckily I found this rare model in Florida and had it shipped over. I love the combination of gloss white and gold hardware and it sounds mint!
I’ve recently gone back to using my McCarty Custom PRS for shows, after favouring a USA Tele for the last few years.
It’s a little unusual for a PRS, as it’s half Gibson. With lightweight tuners, angled neck and headstock and a fixed bridge without individual saddles, giving it a super-warm tone. Oh, and birds up the neck, which I assume makes it sound better. It has more chunks taken out of it than Jesus in Passion of the Christ, and could use a full service and a fret dress, but it’s always been my favourite guitar and been used for almost everything I’ve recorded for Almeida.
