Sam Halliday

Two Door Cinema Club lead guitarist Sam Halliday created this JT-60 guitar with Farida. He says "...it looked amazing... it sort of does everything. I have it on the neck pickup for live, when I'm recording it [the pickup switch] sort of drifts to the middle... It's got body, but it also cuts through. With two guitars - Alex plays semi-hollow body, a bit more mellow, fuller-body sound - so I need something that cuts through on top of that."
