Dimorphodons - Slave To Rough video, featuring 1959 Burns Weill Martian Cricket bat and other rare offsets

Here’s a video for the latest single by Dimorphodons, which I reckon has some of the rarest guitars ever featured in a pop music video!

Musically - fuzzy, psychy, but also poppy I think?

You’ll notice one of those Dallas Rangemasters like you had! Found one at an auction in the end, which I think makes it 3 to have ever surfaced.

Dunno if yours was like this too, but I figured out the fretboards were tapered in thickness so they rise to meet the string height set by the non adjustable trem…which would have been great but they slotted the one on mine backwards!

Totally unplayable but the glue has given up the ghost so might just stick a correct one on there… too cool not to gig.

I can only really dimly remember it at this point. I do remember that it was missing some important parts, plus I had no idea what I had, hence me committing the cardinal sin of parting it out. Very rare-looking guitars in that video, for sure.
