One For The Long Tenon Nerds

Well, I mentioned the other new project was to be a Les Paul Jr stylee piece of fun, so here it is.

The working of the wood is again by the uber talented Grahame Pollard, and rather lovely it is too and light as feather, if the feather was a similar size and made of mahogany.

From here we're going for a stupendously groovy Violet Chameleon nitro finish, a Mojo P90 and wiring loom, Sperzel Trim Lok tuners, Hipshot wraparound bridge..la di daaa.

This will be The Violent Chameleon One (see what I did there?) and will be coming one day soonish probably maybe.

Oh, and I'm keeping this one - it's mine I tell you, mine all mine...

La la laaaaa

p.s. For the tenon nerds, check out the length of that baby.. Eh, long eh, innit..etc.

What's In the Box?

Well, I have a couple of new projects on the cards which I haven't mentioned and lucky for me (and whoever so shall end up with them) the bodies and necks have been made by the rather brilliant UK luthier type Graeme Pollard.

First up then is a stunning Jazzmaster as you can see, which is going to get a stunning sparkly purple nitro finish, along with a gold leaf smothered scratchplate, Mojo pickups and wiring, Fender AVRI tremolo, Staytrem arm and bridge with Sperzel Trimlok tuners to keep life tidy and predictible.

This is a Jooky Custom for DrBob of Rob's Hot Rod Guitar fame, so I am doubly blessed...

It will be know as The Schrödinger One, coming one day soonish probably.

As for the other, well I'll tell you about that tomorrow methinks.

La la laaa

It's Olde, It's Golde

Well, as you probably guessed if you were vaguely interested, not too much is happening here in Jookyland at the moment, but one thing I have done that needed some doing is to start to finish the finish on the luxurious Olde Golde One.

Shonky fotos apart, there is real gold in them there hills and sparkly and sparky it be.

The neck is pretty impressive too, star spangled even, which is twice as nice.

From here I'm thinking a pair of Mojo's finest Mosrite stylee Jazzmaster pickups, Staytrem bridge, Fender AVRI Tremolo, Sperzel tuners and a measure of lurvve.

Que cera, whatever will be Edie, ciao bella baby

La la laaa
