The guitarist – who makes up one quarter of instrumental cumbia outfit Los Bitchos – joins Guitar.com within the newest episode of My Guitars & Me to inform us about her favorite six-strings.

On what drew her initially to the Jet New Classic JV100, she explains, “I’d seen this guitar, and I used to be like, ‘Man, that’s Courtney Love vibes.’ I really like Gap. I really like grunge. So I used to be identical to, ‘I just like the look of that guitar.’”

The guitar was Petale’s first guitar, and regardless of its modest price ticket – the now-discontinued Jet New Classic JV100 was obtainable for only a couple hundred bucks – it’ll all the time maintain a particular place in her coronary heart. “This was my first guitar and it travelled with me all the best way from Australia,” she says.

However regardless of being her first guitar, the Lâg Jet New Classic JV100 isn’t her workhorse. No, that accolade goes to her trusty Italia Maranello Speedster II, which she purchased after an opportunity cease in a guitar retailer because of her bandmate and bassist, Swede Josefine Jonsson.

“Our bass participant wished to enter this guitar store, and I used to be like, ‘Okay, high-quality.’ And it was love at first sight. I used to be like, ‘Ooh, stripes – candy!’”
