Sold: The BDSM One

Bringing together a lot of Jooky themes, The BDSM One features a stunning paisley finish, with a walnut burr and rust veneer on the scratchplate – but that doesn’t even begin to scratch the well worn surface.

Pickups are a one-off handwound prototype Jazzmaster pickup at the bridge, made in the UK by Mojo Pickups. This gives a fantastic and thick single coil sound with a deeper darkness that you can’t find with any other type of pickup. At the neck is a Gretsch humbucker, taken from a 5120 and gives a fantastic lead sound. Mixed they are just something else.

The tremolo and bridge block are from a ‘70s MIJ Strat and features a solid brass block which rings and sustains magnificently.

Elsewhere aged Wilkinson tuners are rock solid and the neck is a nice hand-filling piece of wood that boasts a low, yet buzz free action. This feels like a proper guitar, sounds unique and looks amazing. Gretsch branded pickup cover and knobs add a touch of class.

To be clear, The BDSM 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 slo-mo run across the pebbled beach at Portishead. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.
