It's Olde, It's Golde

Well, as you probably guessed if you were vaguely interested, not too much is happening here in Jookyland at the moment, but one thing I have done that needed some doing is to start to finish the finish on the luxurious Olde Golde One.

Shonky fotos apart, there is real gold in them there hills and sparkly and sparky it be.

The neck is pretty impressive too, star spangled even, which is twice as nice.

From here I'm thinking a pair of Mojo's finest Mosrite stylee Jazzmaster pickups, Staytrem bridge, Fender AVRI Tremolo, Sperzel tuners and a measure of lurvve.

Que cera, whatever will be Edie, ciao bella baby

La la laaa

The Olden Golden Shot

Well, lordy lordy, it's nice to get things moving again, so once the paint had dried, I couldn't help but get The Olde Golde One out on the lawn clover and take a few snaps.

Only thing is I can't make my mind up on whether to go for the gold or white 'plate. Decisions, decisions.

This is a new twist on the mother of Jooky Pearliness, as I took the liberty of mixing in a wee bit of 24 karat gold powder just for extra glisterness, and it has turned out pretty and yet also wow. It also looks different depending on the light, but then I guess gold always does.

This is going to be a fun one though. Lovely neck, AVRI Tremolo, Staytrem bridge, Sperzels, and I'm thinking a Mojo Mosrite at the bridge for some serious bite, and a Jazzmaster pickup at the neck as there is nothing better in the worlde than a Jazzmaster neck pickup.

But anyway, white or gold...?

La la laaaa

Jooky Olde Gold

Well, The Rilkean One is looking nifty, and yes I forgot the fotographic evidence. But tomorrow is another day apparently so they can wait.

And tomorrow I may even nail the pickups in place and remember to talk to Mojo Marc about a wiring loom so I can finito it.

Well, you never know.

But tonight I'm thinking gold, and more to the point I'm thinking about the rather nifty one piece swamp ash Jazzmaster body I've been hiding under the stairs, and more to the point how the two go together.

And I have to admit, I really rather fancied breaking the rules d'Jook and repeating myself, doing another gold leaf job a la Seaside, but sanity interceded so then I thought, wow, why don't I try and mix up some olde gold looking Mother of Jooky Pearliness instead. So that is the plan. It should look crazy enough to criticise yet opulent and lux in a urious kinda way.

So that goes on the Coming One Day Maybe list quicksmart as I'll have forgotten by morning.

You didn't think this bloggy thing was for your benefit, surely.

In other news, well, there isn't any. School holibobs don't you know?
