Sold: The La Cucaracha One


The La Cucaracha One is a complete one off, being based on a reverse Jazzmaster body it begins as unusual and with a Mother of Jooky Liquid Pearl finish, it quickly blasts off toward planet unlikely.

Three lipstick pickups and a Mojo hand wired loom (using the best CTS pots, Oak Grigsby Switch, cloth covered wire, PIO caps and Switchcraft socket) give a stunning array of tones from the obvious jangle thru to rock and electric blues.

Hardware is solid, with a Wilkinson tremolo complete with a solid steel block for zingy sustain, Wilkinson tuners, Gotoh strap pins and a beautiful, CBS style maple/rosewood neck, with medium frets and 9.5” radius for the modern chap or indeed chapess.


All in all, this is a stunning looking guitar that plays beautifully and nails all of the classic tones.

To be clear, The La Cucaracha 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.
