For the record it is a swamp ash bodied Telecaster Esquire with La Cabronita tendencies. The back and sides have been stained and finished with hard wax oil. The top attacked with a good measure of active iron paint, which dribbles beautifully over the edges. This in turn has been subjected to our Home Brew Acid, which has caused it to spectacularly rust in blooming oranges and browns. To finish off hard wax oil has sealed the top (and also dribbled messily over the sides and onto the back.)
It is fair to say, if you are looking for pristine, this truly isn’t your kettle.
Other than the finish, there is a single Gretsch Filter’tron at the bridge with all the expected twangy goodness, and a specially made Mojo Pickups Esquire wiring loom which gives three tones from the single pickup. The neck one is a total joy.
Other than that it is aged Wilkinson tuners and neck plate, a cut down Wilkinson Tele bridge for the thru body stringing and Ye Olde Witches Hat knobs for style and elegance.

To be clear, The Confused 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.
