Introducing: The Frou Frou Fox One

Well, it took a while but sugar, it were worthy of the wait.

I'm all rather pleased ce matin that The Frou Frou Fox One is barking at the moon (barking - there may be a theme there...) and generally tip at the  top and Brizzle fashion.

So from the top, let me introduce you to only the second teardrop shaped Jooky to be born of my twisted mind.

The body is semi-acoustic and vaguely based on Vox's original. From there though we've gone for playability and used a nice old Strat neck - maple and rosewood - and generally tortured the sweet thing in a number of directions.

The body was stained, with the top getting a bronze finish and then an acid bath. From there things got corroded, stabilised and then acrylic painted for that eye of the dragon thing I kinda love doing.

I went for an old style tailpiece and a Ricky-esque bridge that works beautifully. The P90 at the bridge is a Gibson Dogear, and an equally old school Mojo handwired loom, all CTS pots and Grey Tiger PIO Caps, works beautifully.

Split Kluson tuners are old looking and rusted to fit in whilst also being brand new and working perfectly and a lovely fabric binding is nailed down with bronze topped tacks. Classy.

Sounds-wise, well it is verily nice. The body has a solid centre block on feedback minimisation duties and it gives you all the spanky cleans thru to scrotum tearingly sexy tones you'd hope for.

And there we are, The Frou Frou Fox One, sexy as Funk.

La la laaaaa
