It is perhaps fitting though, that as the last of it’s type, The Blue Moon One is so utterly gorgeous. The colour is stunning, and the copper leaf smothered scratchplate sets it all off a treat. Adding to that some jingly yet somehow still bluesy sounding lipstick pickups, a quite lovely big headstocked neck, and the fact that it is one of our favourite Jaguar/Jazzmaster designs, well. What can I say? Modesty rejects ‘perfect’, but for me at least, perfection seems pretty close.
Officially then, The Blue Moon One is an ash offset bodied, sea foam greeny blue paisley finished, maple and rosewood necked, Jookified guitar. It has a nitro finish on top of all other sorts of bobbins, Schaller tuners, Wilkinson trem/bridge thing and Kent Armstrong “Hot Lipstick” pickups.
And it is paisley. And copper, and lovely.

To be clear, The Blue Moon 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 night in Fats Domino’s fridge. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
