On the body, the Ebony Macassar veneer has been cracked, nibbled, attacked with a Tefal Steam Iron and generally battered, before the final indignity of some rusty iron has been used around the edges and back of the guitar.
In building a fretless, we were aiming for something Sitarish and with a bit of practise it is easy enough to slide some great tones out of it. Fretless guitars aren’t made for strumming, and you need to feel the notes rather than bash them out, but it is well worth the effort.
Other than the finish, the body is sycamore with an Ebony Macassar veneer in place of a traditional scratchplate, the neck is maple/rosewood/ebony for all those classic buzzy tones, the pickup is a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Jaguar jobby and it features the world’s biggest capacitor.

To be clear, The Iceblink 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 Within Without You. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.

Cheers m'dears... It is rather mad with a big M-m-m, and I have been scrabbling around learning 'Eastern Scales'. Most odd..
I get to pick up the Explorer from the degunkers on Wednesday btw :) They say it is no longer radioactive...
