All The Single Ladies

To The Left, To The Left

Well, Day 3 of fettling The Fabulous One which I'll no doubt bore you with later on, but I had a good/bad day yesterday on the postal front which both troubled and dee-lited. Groove is in the heart and all that..

Starting on a low note, The Raspberry Ripple One arrived at it's new home via the tender mercies of UPS. Good so far. I was really pleased with how that turned out and how well the broken neck had gone together and the fact it sounded stunning helped too. Imagine my dismay when it turns up with...yep, a broken neck.

How did I feel?

Gutted.

The only good thing was that it was broken somewhere other than where I'd fixed it - sad I know but that was actually quite a relief,
but not much of one.

On the plus side, I had an absolutely beautiful Swamp Ash Tele body arrive. This is the one I mentioned that is routed for TV Jones pickups, so is basically begging to be turned into a La Cabronita, so I guess it would be rude not to.

To The Other Left, To The Other Left

The only downside is that the wood is really beautiful looking and I'm feeling guilty about even thinking about covering it up. Hmmm, I might have to stain it or something and do something a little different.

The other nice one is that I got a small pile of T Shirts - Fruit of the Loom, no cheap tat (ahem) - which I'm going to use to make some Jooky T Shirts. Haut D'Jook, as the Parisians know it.

I did think about doing some general ones, but that's a bit boring, so I'm instead going to just do them as and when. The first one is going to be a 'Companion Piece' for The JoBo One, as it seems somewhat ideal for crass commercialism and brand extension and all that. I want the T Shirts to be one-offs, of course, and hopefully a tad on the cool side of the street.

But, today, more finishing and lacquering, with an insurance claim to sort out. Lovely.

La la laaa
