John Palir and I became friends through a sort of Facebook-based mutual admiration around 6 years ago. We've collaborated on a few designs since but this 'Apple Tree', a T-Style 'Titan' based on a mid 60's Telecaster, remains my favourite. It sounds, plays and looks like a dream to me. I just love it. This video was originally released as a promo for the Atomic Ampli-FireBox and while it's an important part of the sound, the reality is that John's guitar is the real inspiration. So, here is a little Apple Tree Blues. If you ask John nicely, he'll build one for you too. I reckon you'll love it as much as me. The beer? Carlsberg Elephant. I could down those suckers in the summer heat all night long.
