So, 2012 then, is it?

One Sick Guitar - Made In 2011 Shocker
Well, I've kinda gotten to the end of the year and have been thinking about what comes next, and then whined about it until I basically bored myself silly. I'm guessing you too...

Instead of doing that again, I thought I'd skip the recap of 2011 and then maybe do a bit of a wish list for 2012 (leaving out the Miss World hopes for global peace and free cookie dough ice-cream for all.)

So after the vacillation of 2011, my firmish plans for 2012 are:

1. The Gypsy One: I want this to be an old school Tele. It will hopefully have a rosewood veneer over it's alder body, with rusted iron accoutrement's. Pickups I'm thinking will be traditional Tele - maybe Bare Knuckle Blackguards or something similar.

2. The Explorer-with-no-name: This is one I'm making with someone in mind. It will be solid mahogany, P90 at the neck and something PAF-like at the bridge. A combined Copper and bronze finish, corroded to be colour-filled.

3. I haven't done a single pickup Strat for a while and fancy trying something different pickup-wise, maybe one of The Creamery's Wide-Range 'buckers or a P90 soapbar.

4. A La Cabronita Tele - I planned the Joe Le Taxi One and then changed my mind, but I still want to do one. Might use something different to the normal TV Jones though, we'll have to see.

5. A Les Paul Junior. Nuff said.

6. Another Telemaster - I loved The Porn Shop One, so I might see what else I can come up with in that direction.

7. Something offset that isn't a Telemaster - I've lined up a body which I think will be interesting. More of a long term project that though, I fear. I have to have one that drags, after all.

8. A bass - not sure what this will be, but it is about time.

9. A Vox Teardrop shaped guitar

10. A Rickie shaped guitar

And that is it for now really, though I'm sure it will change before the end of the week...

Anyway, thanks for reading along and I hope I'll do something worthy of any vague interest you may have left, in 2012.

Happy New Year peeps. As gypsy-ness is top of the list, I thought of this...

La la laaaaaaa
