More than 40 years after the release of The Clash's iconic album London Calling, Joe Strummer — the band's co-founder, songwriter, rhythm guitarist and voice, as sharp-witted as he was fiery — remains an incredible influence on musicians worldwide. The Joe Strummer Campfire guitar is inspired by the legendary campfires he held at Glastonbury Festival, which continue every year in the festival's Strummerville area. Everyone was invited to join the party, with Strummer gathering an informal group of people around his "campfire" to bond by the warmth of the flames until dawn. This small-body acoustic-electric guitar is the perfect companion for gatherings of any size, and for carrying on Strummer's legacy of bringing people together through music. With a solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides, the Campfire reflects Strummer's legendary aesthetic with its matte black finish, nickel hardware and star inlays.
Inspired by Tim Armstrong's beat-up old 1960s Fender® acoustic — on which he writes all the songs for his legendary punk band Rancid — the left-handed Tim Armstrong Hellcat acoustic is ready to go. Armstrong gave his acoustic a modern touch with pearloid acrylic "Hellcat" logos on the third, fifth and seventh frets, with a pair of skulls adorning the twelfth fret. Other features include a solid mahogany top, scalloped bracing and a Fishman® preamp.
