Well, I'm all of a buzz to get some things done now, not least because Ben has done a funky cool SoundCloud thingy of The Fretboard One, which was a little inspiring of awe, to one so ham fisted as I.
Ben is also going to be doing a video, which I must admit after this I'm really rather looking forward to.
The
Fretboard One is of course going to be given away and you still have a
chance to get in there - up until Thursday at 6pm anyway.
Here is where you need to see the score...
As
for more mundane matters, I have at last started to Mother of Jookify
The Alcaeus One and over the next few days will make it glow with liquid
pearl. I'm going for a rather dark blue on this, unless I change my
mind/spill something or generally, well, forget.
It is going to be
rather groovy though, but I can't decide on the pickups at the moment.
On
one hand my knee-jerkery points at a pair of Gold Foils to make-up for
the demise of The Alcman One, and it was rather super splendid before
it, well, got crushed. But on the other hand I am kinda thinking that Ye
Olde Jazzmaster pickups are rather stunning too, I have to admit. It is
hard being so decisive. I'm glad it is not a burden I carry too often.
After
that, there is another wee pearly dewdrop of a project underway here
too, but this one subject to the tender mercies of my daughter. She has
decided that we should diversify slightly and has taken it upon herself
to build the first ever Jookulele.
Not just any old four stringer is
good enough for her, mind. Nope she is going for a six-steel-stringed,
guitar tuned behemoth that will be visible from any passing space
station. It is going to be epic, I am quite sure. She is still deciding upon a name for that as I type, so I'll have to let you know when she finishes her pondering.
La la laaa
Well, I'm pleased to introduce to you, the first (and maybe only) Jookulele to wash up on the shores of Jookyland.
