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.
