Sold: The Dust My Broom One

With The Dust My Broom One, we wanted to put together a classic, yet hot sounding Telecaster of the old school. An ash body married with a maple/maple neck, gets you half way there, particularly with thru body stringing and a brass saddled full sized ‘plate.

From there then you need pickups that will deliver, and the set of Mojo Pickups’ ‘Broadcasters’ are bang on the money. Voiced to match that sound of the ‘50s yet surprisingly hot, the pickups were handwound like the old days, one-at-a-time. They deliver twang without blinking, and if Keef is more your thing, you can nail his tone too. Stunningly good.

As for looks, the back and sides of the guitar were initially treated to a right-royal rusting, before a copper and bronze top was added and ultimately despoiled. A matching scratchplate sets it all off, as do the Gretsch knobs and Fender/Kluson tuners. This is truly a stunning looking guitar that sounds even better.

One other treat is a wiring loom put together by Mojo again, complete with CTS pots, cloth covered wire and a handmade oil-in-paper capacitor.

To be clear, The Dust My Broom 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.


To Treat Yourself To The Dust My Broom One for a rather daft £399 including a hardcase and delivery to your door (in the UK at least), Just Click on the Big Yellow Button before somebody else does. And they will..
