Frank Whittles jet engine makes an appearance in my Bo Diddley print, its a little play on words as Bo's guitars were often based on Gretsch's Jet series of twangers from the fifties, also its a nod to the space age atomic jet powered future, as a contrast to the 'jungle' rhythms normally associated with Bo's pounding music. I have always been inspired by the way Bo often made his own guitar effects, and took an experimental approach to creating strange noises on his funny shaped guitars.
