Sold: The Drip Dry One

Sometimes, you just want a guitar that Rocks, with a big ‘R’. Good if it looks amazing too, but ultimately it has to sound the biz. That was the starting point for The Drip Dry One, and I think we got there, in spades.

From the top, it is unusual – a mahogany Strat body with the most amazing looking grain. Added to that it has a quite crazy wicked rusted iron scratchplate, the rust dribbling down the face of the guitar.

But it is the sound.

For pickups we’ve gone for an old Jooky favourite, a P90 at the neck. This is one of IronGear’s best kept secrets, the Alchemist 90 and it really packs a punch.

At the bridge we find the real deal. A genuine 1970s DiMarzio Super Distortion, ripped out of an old Les Paul and here it sounds quite brilliant.

Other than that there is a set of Wilkinson ‘Klusons’ to hold the strings at the top end, and a Wilkinson Bridge complete with a Steel block for maximum sustain, and boy does it work?

Yes, it does.

As a finishing flourish we went for an enormously silver Mojotone Vitamin K cap in among the wires, individual volumes, a single tone control and a three-way switch. Nice and simple.

So basically it is Sex on a sticky stick.

*

To be clear, The Drip Dry One is an utterly unique guitar, and there will never, ever, be another made. It is signed and numbered, entirely hand built and finished cooler than a coolish thing on ice. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
