Talking about Elmer

an Inspirational Effalump

Well, a weekend at But-er-lins is surprisingly brain-numbing, and school holibobs or not, I need (and I mean need) to sort some guitar bobbins out.

Firstly, I really must finish The Old Burny One, even my kids are laughing at me about it. "The Never Ever Going To Be Finished One" as they re-named it.

Nowt worse than a five-year-old telling you that you are a failure.

So that, I need to sort sharpish-like.

Other than that, it is The Elmer One I want to concentrate on, once the new pickups - Bare Knuckle 'The Boss' warm, yet lovingly traditional too -  arrive and Ye olde Worlde Tele ashtray bridge show up.

This guitar looks rather stunning, it has to be said, and I think the pups will be rather amazing in it.

As they would be in The Porn Shop One, if I ever finish that particular babe.

Another I should mention is The Floored Genius One. Unfortunately, this 'un will be a while as I need to sort a few things out on that. It is more flawed than genius at the moment and there we are. I can't quite get my head around it right now, so best to leave it for a brighter season.

If I'm being a completist, I'm waiting for the body for The Joe Le Taxi One, my little La Cabronita project. I've got most everything else, but what can you do without a body? Not a great deal.

a Swap Shop of a Guitar

As I said the other day, I should get the '70s SG copy this week, but that isn't likely to be Jookified as I need a guitar I can just play, once in a while, and this will hopefully be it.Especially as the Jackson didn't stick around for long.

One that is likely to get the treatment sooner or later, is a Les Paul Special type of thing, I couldn't resist. Twin soapbar P90s mahogany body and neck, rosey-wood 'board. Lovely.

I've already got something in mind for that one, but I need to see how good it is when it shows-up - took a bit of a punt on it, if you see what I mean and you never can tell until you can see them up close and personal-like.

So there we are, much the same plans as before, with a couple more added for good taste..
