The Ever Evolving Plan

Well, I mentioned the other week that The Nascent One is destined to be Telemasterish, but I've been having a plot and a ponder and I've changed my mind somewhat, as I think what I  really wanted to make was a little different.

So in it's latest iteration of vapor-ness, I've decided that instead it will be offset of shape, but rather than going the Tele-ish route, instead it will be a nice slab of alder, with a Gibson-ish stopbar and Tune-o-matic  bridge and feature a nice soapbar P90 in the noise making department.

To go with this will be a nice Strat neck,  which I am yet to source, and a new baroque kinda finish that I've been itching to try out. Well, if I don't do it...

Basically I want a nice, light, rock machine with plenty of tone that I can sling around my neck and shout loudly at people in the road with, maybe chase the odd parked car, and it doesn't get any newer than that.

La la laaa

Something to look forward 2

Another Man's porn
Well, it has been all about the plotting recently, but I have also done the life-laundrette thing and got rid of just about everything. I now live in a second-hand box under a leaky bridge, but it is home.

However, man's needs met, I like to think about something nice in the future, and whilst it is a short list I can't resist this.

I was going to do a Tele, but there have been too many in recent times, so I thought I'd go back to Telemaster-land for a visit and see how I would do one now. The Porn Shop One was delish, but I'm much more grown up these days (ahem).

And with my best-of-every-wee-thing head on, I'm thinking a lovely roasted copper one would looks rather nifty.

It should have a stunningly cool neck, though a Strat one I think.

I want to put a Bigsby on with one of the conversion plates for a Tele, but I might go the ABR Bridge route instead, we'll have to wait and see.

As for the pickups, I snaffled one of Marc Ransley's prototypes a while back which is a Tele bridge pickup with a blade, though not because it is uber hot, instead it is cooler and tone-ridden. I've been looking for a home for it and this fits the mark.

To go with it, I'm thinking I would like a proper Mojo Gold Foil pickup at the neck. Along with the Bigsby it should all be rather stunning and set off metal detectors nationwide.

This will be The Nascent One, coming one day somewhere probably maybe.
