Johnny Rocket – Dirty Little Thing An exquisite Fender® Stratocaster®, with diamonds, lovingly customised by John Pearce and Niall Paisley of celebrity jewellers Johnny Rocket. The guitar features sterling silver metal parts from Cookson, with 60 0.3 carat diamonds running along the fret board set in 18 carat white gold. The body of the guitar is encrusted with a total of 49,750 jet and Swarovski Crystals. Jewellery designer John Pearce – aka Johnny Rocket – began his career studying traditional techniques in his native Australia. His passion for fashion has led him to work with a who's who of catwalk designers, including Givenchy, Boudicca, Tom Ford at Gucci, and Julien MacDonald. Johnny's rock 'n' roll sensibility also appeals to a private client list of stars including Kylie, Lenny Kravitz, Fatboy Slim, Duran Duran, Boy George and Missy Elliot. "It's named after a Velvet Revolver song, because rock has always been a dirty little thing. The guitar is a representation of my experiences with music and all the people and things that have influenced me. We don't create jewellery without fashion, culture and music – especially music!"
