Sold: The Glory B One

The Glory B One is perhaps the lightest Strat I’ve ever played never mind made. It has an alder body, maple/rosewood neck and a quite beautifully corroded copper finish.

I’m really rather proud of the finishas the colours from the corrosion of the copper are stunning.

What makes this a special guitar though, is a complete one-off pickup, The Mojo’Tron, made by our friends at Mojo Pickups. This takes the Gretsch/TV Jones sounds as a starting point, and all the twang and jangle you’d hope for are easily found, but there is also a lot more to it than that. Beefining it up a bit gives some great P90 grit and when overdriven it cuts thru clear as a dinging bell.

Overall then, a lovely single ‘bucker guitar with moresounds on tap than your average Strat, that looks grimly fiendish.

To be clear, The Glory B 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 slo-mo run across the pebbled beach at Portishead. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
