Thinking Junior

Well, other than everything I never finished in the old year, the new year will see a couple of customs (more on those later) and general sloth plus the top of the list for me in the little kingdom of Jook is to get the first set of Juniors together and out there in the form of my debut Ganga6.

As I'm sure you'll remember, the idea with these is to make a set of six guitars of one spec, but with different finishes. Each set will be different, but fun nonetheless.

As for my first Ganga6, it is going to be rather cool, with each guitar...

1. Being Tele shaped in a vaguely La Cabronita way

2. Having a Strattish neck

3. Having a Hard tail bridge

4. Boasting a rather cool and unique scratchplate you-cannot-buy-in-the-shops

5. Having a quite wicked Mojo Gold Foil pickup at the bridge

6. Hiding a groovy top notch Mojo wiring loom under the hood, and

7. Tuners and Strap Pins to taste

As for the finishes, well this is where it gets to be real fun, as each of the 6 will have a different one..so:

#0101 - Gold Leaf
#0102 - Rusted Iron
#0103 - Corroded Copper
#0104 - Corroded Bronze
#0105 - Time Stained
#0106 - Paisley

Each of these beauties will come in a lovely hard case with all the usual bobbins that I forget right now.

As for prices, they are likely to come in at a silly cheap £749 each, but for the first time we'll be taking pre-orders at a stupidererer £599 including delivery to your UK doorstep if you stump up before they are finished. It's over to you from there.

And when will these delights be done and dusted? The aim is to have them sorted by the end of March...

No, really. I promise.

And of course these are as ever total one-offs and will never be repeated, as that would be sooooo very boring.

The Ganga6, finally happening, I am so excited.

La la laaaa
