Sold: The Mysterio One

Where do you start in describing a guitar like The Mysterio One?

Well, it is based on a Fender Telecaster, has an Alder body and Maple/Maple neck, but after that things tend to go a bit haywire.

For a start it is an Esquire, in that it has only one pickup. Nothing new there, apart from the pickup in question which was wound by the Magician that is Marc Ransley at Mojo Pickups is Hot, Hot and Hot.

Based on his usual Broadcaster this has all the tone but plenty of oomph to spread the word.

To give a few options, the pickup has been coil-tapped and Marc has put together a wiring loom specifically for this guitar that will give three great tones when you are playing. Maybe even when you aren't, it is that good.

From there we get to the finish, and man what a finish it be. The body was stained to give the impression of an old panel with the top of this being given an Abstract Expressionistic  treatment that is way and beyond a hand brim-filled with splatter. This is textured and 3D in every sense and is stunning to be beholden by.

The bridge is a Wilkinson cut down ‘Shorty’ Tele style for a stripped down look that the guitar probably needed and all in all it is a total joy.

Wondering what the metal work at the Wondering what the metalwork at the back is?

Well, it isn’t a weird Bigsby, this is so much cooler as it is a Hipshot B-Bender with Drop-D flicky switch and a G-Bender thrown in for good measure. Until you’ve tried one of these things you really haven’t lived – I am a total convert – and apart from the obvious country, this is fantastic if you are looking for textures that you can’t normally find.

All-in-all, a crazy good guitar with extras that’ll take you places you really didn’t imagine you’d ever visit.

Magical.

To be clear, The Mysterio 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.
