Everything Changes, But Thee

Well, The Marksmen One had it's final fettle (not least it got a new name, gold 'plate and different bridge pickup) and man does it look good in the meadow (Ah, All About Eve, whatever happened to you Julianne?)

And very nice it looks too, I have to say. It shall be leaving the shores of the Little kingdom of Jook on Monday, bound for somewhere else, though how it will get there who am I to say, who am I today, even.

In other news...well, don't really want to talk about the football, so here is a song.

La la laaaa

Sold: The Marksmen One

The Marksmen One is a rather groovy Swamp Ash bodied Jazzmaster, with a stunningly cool Mother of Jooky, pearl finish, along with an aging and scuffing that your average kerb crawler would be proud of.

There are minor dings-a-plenty, but all part of the shabby yet chic vibe.

The neck is from Warmoth and is a lovely handful, maple rosewood and oiled and waxed to give a fine feeling in your mitt.

Fender AVRI Jazzmaster tremolo and Mustang bridge are cool as ever, and a set of Sperzel Trim Lok tuners mean life will always be predictably un-atonal.

As for the noise, we have gone for a set of the quite beautiful Mojo Jazzmaster Pickups.
Joining the dots we also have one of Mojo’s top notch wiring looms – CTS pots, Switchcraft this, PIO that, which will last for aeons.

*

To be clear, The Marksmen 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.
