Diddley went on to play a number of rectangular guitars built by himself and others, which soon became one of his trademarks throughout his career.

The resulting three guitars (Jupiter Thunderbird, Cadillac and Cigar Box), two of which were named after popular automobiles became synonymous with Diddley and his '60s stage partner "The Duchess" Norma-Jean Wofford.

We didn't risk subjecting such a rare instrument to the rigors of the road so this new, reproduction model was recreated with some BFG Mojo thrown in for good measure.

Notable players include Jack White who can be seen playing a customised Jupiter Thunderbird in the music video for the single "Another Way to Die", it is also his main guitar with The Dead Weather.

Laur Joamets, former guitarist for Sturgill Simpson, can be seen playing a white Jupiter Thunderbird during Simpson's performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Saturday Night Live.
