Samm Henshaw has already toured with Chance The Rapper and James Bay in his journey as a solo artist and has checked in with Fender and the Player Series Duo-Sonic for the latest episode in their Sessions series to play two songs from last year's debut album Untidy Soul, as well as new unreleased song The Cafe.
The Duo-Sonic is a bit of an unsung hero electric guitar model in the Player catalogue for us – it's shorter scale makes it a really friendly guitar for easy bends, and it's got a lovely single-coil cut for Samm's intimate R&B style. And it looks good!
"I like the minimalism to it," says Samm. "It's such a clean, clear guitar. There's less bass frequencies to it as well so it's a much lighter sounding guitar that I think works with a lot of what we've played today.
"She's real light too, which I like," adds Samm about his £599 Tidepool Blue finish model. "Very fun."
