Sold: the Diamond Shiny One

Well, it has taken a while and many forms, but I am pleased to introduce to you the stripped down noise machine that is The Diamond Shiny One.

In the end I went for a bare bones approach as basically it looked the best and it just suited it somehow.

We have a corroded copper and bronze topped alder body, a rather lush maple/rosewood neck, ye olde Tele Ashtray bridge and two quite incomparable pickups.

At the neck is what is becoming rather trademark-like here in Jookyland, which is unfortunate as it is is somebody else's trademark - a Teisco style Mojo Pickups' Gold Foil. This, as the regular viewer will note, is a stunningly cool sound and at the neck of a Tele is awesome.

At the bridge is one of Marc Ransley's legendary prototypes - this time a Tele pickup, but that has a low output and a blade. Us nerds will of course recognise the recipe and instantly think 'Charlie Christian' and we would be right, as it has all the lush, tear-dragging properties that you would expect. Blues, Jazz are nailed on and the middle position is just, well, something else. Man. However, being more limited myself I can't help but mention that it nails those Clash and Pistols sounds beautifully.
