Fast-forward many years, and here in Jookyland we think it is time for a revival, but obviously with a few twists of our own.
The Fabulous One has a name to live up to and man does it. The body is pure Coronado apart from the thought-filled addition of a centre block to tamp down that feedback. It has been finished on the top with our home brew acid concoction being applied lovingly to a copper finish. This gives a beautifully 3D effect that will appeal to the whole family and doesn’t need silly glasses.
The back has a different corrosion, with again acid being brushed onto metallic paint, with bronze being the one to get tatty on it.
Around the edges is a quite messy paisley ‘faux binding’ that sets it all off.
As for the pickup, well Mojo Pickups have wound a prototype based on something toaster-like that captures all the jingo jangle you’d hope for and so much more.
Other than that it has a Ye Olde Horshoe Tremolo for all those Bigsby-esque shimmers and warbles, a pressed metal bridge – lovely and Dano-esque – Grover tuners and a top notch Mojo wiring loom.
All together this is a complete attention grabber to look at and a slice of something truly Fab when you play it.

To be clear, The Fabulous 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 the road to the Wirrall. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
