Sold: The Resurrected One

The Resurrected One is a Jookified version of Fender’s La Carbronita Especial, with a number of quirks we like to call our own. We love Teles in Jookyland and the La Cabronita is something that has long caught our eye, so when the chance to do one came along we didn’t need much persuading.

The body of The Resurrected One is made from swamp ash, and we quite simply couldn’t bring ourselves to cover up such a beautiful piece of wood. Instead we did our best to bring the grain out with a hand applied dark oak stain and many coats of a hard wax oil. This makes for a stunning finish we’re all rather chuffed with.

From there we added a pickguard, which we’d chopped from an old Jimmy Reed record, and matched the body with a lovely maple/maple neck with old school Klusonesque tuners.

As for the sounds, well, TV Jones in La Cabs have of course been done before and we wanted something a little raunchier, dirtier and generally likely to be found on the seedier side of the street. But they are an odd size, and so we talked to Marc Ransley at Mojo Pickups, and he agreed to custom wind us a set of his stunning P90 pickups, cut to shape and then went above and beyond the call and turned-up with a set than are quite simply breath-taxingly cool.

Additionally, Marc put together a top notch wiring loom to get the best out of them.

This is probably – definitely – the most understated Jooky yet, and will never be repeated.

To be clear, The Resurrected 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.
