Sold: The Rilkean One

Well, I'm pleased to introduce to you, The Rilkean One, the latest product of our fevered imaginationings and uber-tastically cool, if I do say so meself.

From the top, it is a beatified tribute to the classic Vox Teardrop, but man Brian never had it this good as this is super playable and stunning sounding all at the same time. The body is beautifully hand made in the UK from alder, and the neck matches perfectly, with a beautiful piece of rosewood stuck to some maple.

Pickups have a nice twist, with three of Marc Ransley of Mojo Pickups take on the original and classic Danelectro Lipsticks. Loads of wire wrapped around big bertha magnets in a pretty tube. Simple as that, but man do they sound sir and wheat.

Wiring, is the usual top notch Mojo loom, top quality CTS pots, Oak Grigsby Switch, PIO caps, Switchcraft jack and all that.

The tuners I had never tried before, but are brilliant, a set of Steinberger's gearless wonders, with an 18:1 ratio, so very fine and dandy your tuning will be.

As for the finish, I went for pure copper with a slight amount of corrosion around the edges, but as this is corroding under the protective layers of wax, rather than corroding, it will slowly change like a lava lamp.

As ever this is a complete one-off in  oh-so-many-ways, signed, dated and numbered and no doubt it won't be around for long.

So why not treat thine self for the silly price of SOLD in a cute yet hardy hardcase to your door (if you still have one in the UK.)

Be first or well, be nowhere.

To be clear, The Rilkean 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.
