Sold: The JoBo One

The Fender Telemaster is the great combination of a Jazzmaster and a Telecaster that Fender never made but most definitely should have. The JoBo One is our little Jooky twist on the whole caboodle, taking it further along in the unlikely stakes by giving it a stunningly cool bubble gum pink paisley finish and capping it off with a scratchplate lovingly hand carved from an old Beach Boys record.

It is basically the signature guitar Joe Bonamassa would have if he played a Jooky, and let's face it, it is only a matter of time. (Obviously, he knows nothing, zilch and nada about this and in no way endorses this. He hasn't played it for one, and that would just be silly.)

But getting back to The JoBo One, it isn’t purely surftastic, taking the original single pickup Telecaster as our hero on a plinth, we have gone for one of Mojo Pickups fantastic hand wound and generally scattered Broadcaster Tele Pickups and paired this with an Esquire wiring loom that means you get three great sounds from a single pickup.

Now tell me that isn’t groovy?

A Wilkinson traditional Tele bridge with ashtray cover, genuine Craps Dice from the Las Vegas Sands hotel as knobs* and a beautiful maple neck with Kluson tuners finish what is quite obviously a unique and stunning guitar. Sounds like hell with a bit of fuzz, it has to be said. If this is Surf it is Surfa Rosa all the way.

To be clear, The JoBo 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 Nevada desert. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.

Heh FoM...How you doing?

I thought you might like this one - But surely you've bought the missus a TV/Holiday/decking or something...?

It would match her eyes though ;)

sadly we've just had a new bathroom fitted - but not payed for. But I am still tempted. I intend to do a lot of recording over the next few months (I keep promising then getting distracted - curse that xbox my wife got me for Christmas and there's been so many football matches...) and the JoBo one would certainly inspire me.
