Introducing The Beano One

Well, it took a bloomin' long time, and feels a lot longer, but our beautiful wee rocker of a Beano covered guitar is finally complete, and I have to say I'm a little in awe of it.

For those of you that haven't being following the saga, this is a bit of a British Blues tribute, with the guitar being finished with a couple of genuine '66 copies of The Beano, obviously inspired by Eric 'God' Clapton reading a copy on the front of The John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album of that year.

It is more than a pretty face mind you - a Seymour Duncan '59 at the bridge nails 'that' sound and a Gibson 496r at the neck takes it in a heavier direction - so anything from Led Zeppelin back to Clapton is easy to find. And I am loving it, I have to say.

Anyway, bugger the description - here are some fotos, see what you think..

Cool
