Geek Peek - Petter from Rebuke

NAME: Petter “the Petter” Mossberg, from the band Rebuke

GUITAR: Jackson JSX1 Dinky Minion

BLURB: Axe of choice would be quite an overstatement; guitar of fiery in-store infatuation and losing a bet is more accurate. Us scandis (meaning Rebuke and our on-again off-again road wives in Forever Unclean) have an ongoing, risky game of “what are the odds” that resulted in me buying this guitar on the day of a show in Hamburg (at the lovely Booze Cruise festival, go there if you haven’t already).

It’s ¾ size, so very comfortable for lugging around in one hand, or placing completely unprotected in an overloaded van for 8 hours. Sporting a glossy neon pink finish, it’s a right eyecatcher, and with six playable strings over - and this is ridic considering the size - still 24 fucking frets, you can play all Rebuke songs on it. And by “you” I mean “me”. I’ve practically tried.

In a cramped venue, the compact size gives you a clear advantage over your competing guitarist, and the high output Jackson humbuckers produce guitar sounds feeding into your amplifier. At least that’s how I made it go SWOOSH on stage, so I recommend it.

We were supposed to use this as our second guitar for our Punk Rock Holiday show, but Olle (also of Rebuke fame) hated it so he broke it. Good guy Micke from Adhesive let us borrow his SG instead. Our loss?
