From there it will be off to sunny Stroud on Monday where a top notch guitarister will be doing a proper cool video to show it in a better light than I could ever manage, before the winner will be unveiled or announced or something at The Great British Guitar Show in Birmingham in a couple of weeks time.
This is exciting, really.
The what, what and what? I hear you say?
Well, if you missed it, this guitar is of course going to be given away to a member of The Fretboard Forum, and best of all you still have a chance of winning.
I've said it before, but the idea behind it is to raise a few bob toward the running of the Forum, which is totally independent, won't steal you words as 'content', has no advertising to annoy you and is full of great advice, fun, frolics and the odd free guitar.
To join in and hopefully bag yourself a slice of Jookiness, all you need to do is:
1. Join the Fretboard Forum. it is is easy, just go Here and you can logon with your Facebook or Google accounts so you don't even have to fill a form in.
2. Go to the Free Guitar thread Here
3. Read the thread and not only will you see WIP fotos of the guitar being built, but also find out more about how you can win it.
4. Something to note - joining the forum is free, but the winner will be selected from people who have made a donation to the forum - a couple of quid is enough, but it is a good cause so don't be a stingy get all your life.
And that is it.
As for the guitar - the spec is pretty darn tooting...
1 A handmade body courtesy of one of the Fretboard's founding fathers, Mr TTony. (I think he is dyslexic). This is a solid Tele style body with some lovely curves and carves. Exceptional work that I can only envy. It is signed by Mr T. hisself and is a complete one-off.
2. A gloriously cool bound and blocked, maple/rosewood neck.
3. What is only the second ever Custom Cool Etch made Jooky headstock plate.
Surprisingly on the headstock.
I can't imagine what I was thinking to be so predictable.
4. A rather beautiful if I smugly say so meself, aged bronze finish.
5. A Teisco Style Mojo Gold Foil Pickup at the neck.
6. A Mojo Broadcaster Pickup at the Bridge.
7. A Traditional style top notch Mojo Wiring loom (all CTS pots, Switchcraft switch and jack, PIO caps...)
8. A quite beautifully understated Callaham Stainless Steel Tele Ash Tray Bridge
9. A set of Sperzel Trim Lok Locking Tuners
10. A rather cute Hard Case
And let's face it, if that isn't enough there is no pleasing you.
So for the final time (today) this is me nagging you, to punt a few bob toward a good cause and give yourself the chance of a lifetime.
You'll hate yourself if you don't
Glory be.
La la laaaa
