Whip Me baaby

Well, I'll do a proper introduction in the morning light where fotos are brighter, more energetic and so much more lovely, but I'm pleased to say I finally finished the fettle of The Whipped One this evening and rather cool it is indeed.

For those who's memory is similar to my own, I'll remind you that it be:

1. A La Cabronita style Tele

2. Has a quite beautiful walnut body

3. The back has been stained, err, walnut and then hard waxed and has some reet pretty flame going on.

4. The top is an exceptionally groovy Mother of Jooky Opalescent finish

5. There may be gold in them there hills

6. The neck is a Warmoth maple/ebony fretless one, a nice soft V in shape and 12" flat in flatness

7. A single Mojotron pickup wound especially for this guitar a lot hotter than normal adorns the bridge position.

8. Wood is all that is to show for the neck pickup spot

9. An excellent Mojo wiring loom brings it all together

10. A hard tail bridge

11. Sperzel trim-lok tuners keep it all stable

And there we are.

As for how it plays, well the action is low, you fret it where the frets should be, and it has a gorgeous, almost, synth sound as you play, and the Mojo pickup was well worth doing as it adds the sustain you would normally expect to lose with a  defrettled guitar.

And to be honest, I can't leave the little mucker alone, well good fun.

But like I say, more anon...

La la laaaa
