Well, I mentioned the other day that there was another custom jobby in the offing, and I'm pleased to say that it is out of the starting blocks now and Damo will get himself a Jooky sometime soon. (I'm as keen on exact delivery dates as ever.).
This is going to be something crazy-good, obviously..
From the top it is going to have a semi-acoustic body based on a Ricky 660, though with a slash style 'hole'. The body is going to have a white over blue, seriously worn finish to it which I think will be fun, as well as a few other touches that will make it individual - not that there will be a problem convincing you of it's one-off-ness when you read the rest of the spec.
As for the neck, well an upside down lefty telecaster neck, with block inlays is the plan, which is probably a bit obvious, but I can do conventional too at a push.
Pickups are TBC but likely to be a Toaster top one at the bridge and some sort of rail at the neck. Controls are also going to be interesting, methinks.
Other than that, not sure whether it will have a Bigsby or some other kinda tailpiece, we'll just have to see on that one, but whatever it ends-up with, I can't but help be thinking that it will be somewhat epic.
And to give it it's due, that will be the lovely bonkers The Babylon Blue One, coming to Damo sometime in 2013.
I could get to like doing these custom thingies, cool.
La la laaa
