From the top, it is:
1. A Swamp Ash Tele Body, that has been stained and waxed, before being viciously attacked with a pot porri of active iron paint, a good couple of cupfuls of the house home brew acid to make it rust and drip, and then a nice hard wax finish.
2. A rather fetching maple/rosewood neck, soft C of shape and 14" of camber.
3. Strung thru stringing with a hard tail bridge.
4. Traditional Esquire wiring courtesy of Marc Ransley at Mojo Pickups - with a tweaked neck position that is dee and vine.5. A Gretsch Filter'tron pickup at the bridge...
..and there we are.
As for how it plays, well it twangs like a good 'un, scrapes it's teeth across your chest with a touch of dirt and generally gets well creamy when a bit of fuzz kicks in.
The action is low and fast (even with me playing it) and it is a lovely weight.
All in all, I'm really rather chuffed with it, even if I still can't quite tell you what sort of guitar it be.
La la laaaa
