Q: Are We Not Swingers?

Post by plopswagon »

We are…

Was watching DEVO’s tiny desk concert on YouTube and noticed the newish guitar guy was playing some weird Swinger inspired guitar.

It's "J2V2" and yeah I think it's a reverse body Swinger! With a truncated JM style trem. Mental.
There's a short thread at The Site Who Cannot Be Named, including this pic.

Thanks, I’d almost prefer it no reverse. I like the more Jazzmaster/Jaguar lower bout.

I don't really like Swingers, but think that's cool.

No idea how I missed their Tiny Desk show - got it on now; it's great, as is that yellow boi
