A Starter: The Bella Donna One

Step 1. Smooth Copper Coat

Well, The Wasteland One is off to pastures new, and the lacquer has dried on the rather amazing looking The Sick One. I still haven't wired The Old Burny One despite best intentions, so all in the wonderfilled land of Jook is really positioned to finish something.

Naturally then, I've started something else, which will in time become the glory that is The Bella Donna One. I've wanted to play with one of these sort of racy guitars for a while, and here we are.

From the top then, it is a modern wee thing, with a vintage vibe, bit like myself. It has an alder body, maple neck, rosey wood board and a fixed bridge. (Not sure what you call it to be quite honest)

All of which dictates that it has a gorgeously corroded copper top and a single Seymour Duncan '59 humbucker at the bridge. It is a going to be soooo cool. Maybe by Easter, at a rough guess.

Obviously, I forgot to take a 'Before' foto, but for the record it was black with a couple of racing stripes down the front on the left.

As for the Explorer, today is now the day, apparently. So somebody tells me.

La la laaa
