The History

In a time when the Mods were king and pop-art ruled over a ‘swinging’ London, few guitars have embodied the exact feeling and dynamics of those times than Mod-God Paul Weller's stunning "WHAAM!" pop-art guitar.  Crafted using a beautiful Rickenbacker 330, the guitar was custom modified to feature a Gibson Humbucker in the neck position to create a far more intriguing and certainly more versatile guitar for Weller to use in the studio and on stage.  Despite these custom modifications made to the guitar, it is of course the amazing artwork by pop-artist Roy Lichtenstein that will always allow this classic guitar to endure in the memory - taken directly from Lichtenstein’s 1963 masterpiece, “WHAAM!”, based on a page from a 1962 comic book, the artwork on Weller’s guitar is truly iconic.
