Introducing: The Chi Chi One

Well, I'm pleased to introduce you to the latest of the little Jooky brood, The Chi Chi One, with it's 70s stained and waxed natural body, big headstock and lovely, lovely, loveliness.

I'm quite pleased, I have to admit.

From the top, it be:

1. A beautifully grained 2 piece swamp ash body

2. Maple and Rosewood, big headed neck, 12" radius and D of shape.

3. Tuners and trem are Wilkinson, a big steel block sustains zingily and tuning is solid.

4. Scratch and control plates are made from an old BB King record, for a touch of the La Cab about proceedings

5. Pickups are handwound by Marc Ransley at Mojo Pickups, and are a 'bucker sized P90, which is raw and pure sex, this is joined by a stunning sounding PAF Humbucker at the bridge that is jaw-droppingly cool. I don't even want to talk about the middle position as it quite literally has everything.

6. As this has a 70s Fender vibe, and all they seemed to do back then was try and convert Les Paul players, Mojo also did me a special twin volume, double tone wiring loom with audaciously big massive Red Tiger caps, CTS pots and everything else you'd hope for. I was always dubious about Paper In Oil caps making that much of a difference, but I'm a convert, even if it is just because they look so £$%^&* cool.


And there it is, The Chi Chi One, plays like a demon,
sounds like a brothel,
looks like an evening in a sauna.

Lush.

La la laaaa
