I think it has to do with a few things:
1. The "Twang" (fat heavy strings, single coil pickups)
2. Tremolo (as in a tremolo bridge)
3. Vibrato (as a built-in option on Fender amps)
4. Walk-Don't Run (Ventures)
5. Sleep Walk (Santo and Johnny)
6. Link Wray
7. Gretsch hollowbody guitars
8. Reverb (as a built in option on Fender amps)
9. Brian Setzer Orchestra
10 Reverand Horton Heat
the above mentioned influences tend to have their impacts
on
the Rockabilly crowd...dragster and horror music too...
