Introducing: The Alcaeus One

Well, I'm pleased to introduce to you, the latest wee Jooketta to roll in the grass (and weeds) of Portishead, The Alcaeus One, a Mother of Jooky Pearly Blue Jazzmaster of the old skool.

From the top it has:

1. A single piece swamp ash Jazzmaster body

2. A Mother of Jooky Blue Pearl finish. the fotos never catch this well, but man it is pretty.

3. A Posh Warmoth neck, maple and rosewood, a good handful too

4. Sperzel Trim Lok locking tuners

5. Fender AVRI Tremolo and arm (it is here somewhere)

6. Fender Mustang bridge

7. Mojo Pickups famous Jazzmaster pickups - the best of the best in any sane chap's opinion - and a traditionally made wiring loom to hold it all together (Top notch CTS this, Switchcraft that, PIO whatever)

And how does it sound?

How does it play?

How does it look?

Simply put, wicked man, wicked. The old greek would approve.

I'll do proper fotos tomorrow, so excuse the snaps..
