Sold: The Vegas One


The Vegas One is a complete one off, based on a Tom Delonge Strat – it has a crazy cool gold leaf finish with cantina tacks.

The pickup is a special handwound by Marc Ransley of Mojo Pickups and is based on the greasy goodness that is the Gold Foil pickups of days gone long. This has a stunning tone – somewhere between a P90 and a TV Jones, with real grit. Have a listen to Ry Cooder, you’ll see what we mean.

The neck is a bit special in it’s own right. A Jazzmaster neck, it is unusually maple boarded with black inlays and binding and plays like a dream of a dream. Final touches are the hardtail, thru-body-strung bridge and a single volume control, topped with a genuine Die from the Sands Casino in Vegas. Nice.

 All in all, this is a stunning looking guitar that plays beautifully and nails all of the classic tones.

*

To be clear, The Vegas 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.
