Sold: The Red or Dead One

About The Red or Dead One

The Red or Dead One is a first for the Emporium, featuring both one of our beautiful, variegated ‘Marilyn Golden Tops’ for the body and headstock and our not-yet-quite-patented ‘Cilla’s Rusty Iron’ finishes for the scratchplate. All of which are protected by first coats of acrylic and then nitro lacquers.

The guitar is of course based on the ‘70s MIJ homage to a Fender Jaguar or Jazzmaster. Tuners and bridge are both takes on traditional parts and work perfectly.

As far as the pickups go, these are re-wound pickups from a Fender Strat and to give it a bit more of a grungy vintage, the tone knob is in fact a Sophie’s Filthy Booots Fuzz effect, based on a NOS Germanium diode.

All in all, it is a unique looking and sounding guitar. Verily groovy indeed.

To be clear, The Red or Dead One is an utterly unique guitar, and there will never, ever, be another made. It is signed and numbered, entirely hand built and finished cooler than a pleasant night checking your shoes. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
