Sold: The Teabagging Incident One
The Teabagging Incident One is a complete one off, being based on a Fender Telecaster we have gone the Esquire route with a single ‘Gimp’ pickup, lovingly crafted by Marc at Mojo Pickups to our exclusive recipe. This in turn has a traditional Esquire wiring loom to dredge every last morsel of tone from the proceedings.
The finish is pure Mother of Jooky, with a handpainted effect happily dribbling over the edges.
The neck is a beaut – maple/rosewood with a low action, a bone nut and a distinct lack of buzziness.
All in all, this is a stunning looking guitar that plays beautifully and nails all of the classic tones.
*
To be clear, The Teabagging Incident 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.

Teabagging Across the Universe
Well, the next couple of weeks are destined to be Jookiless, but I remembered that I had started something and not shared-with-the-group, so at least that is something different to contemplate.
Well, unsurprisingly, it is a nice Esquire, with a funktastic finish. I did initially have this down as one of the Strappado bodies, but in the end-zone couldn't resist the allure of the trip, so there we be.
Oh, the pickguard is chopped from Lou Reed's Rock 'n' Roll Animal, a nice '74 copy.
So, from the top - alder body, groovy finish oversplattering the edges like a bingo caller.
Beautiful maple/rosewood neck, Wilko tuners and bridge and best of all a Mojo-made-to-a-Jooky-recipe, Gimp pickup at the bridge in all it's raw and sexy P90/Tele-ness.
A nice Mojo esquire wiring loom settles the nerves and there we be..
When I get to finish this, it will be known as The Teabagging Incident One, so there we are. When that will be, who can say right now?
La la laaaa
