Introducing... The Gimme Shelter One

Well, it has taken a while, but with wonderfilled help from the chaps at Allparts UK, and all the good vibes from the FretBoard, I am pleased to say that we finally have a guitar A cool guitar. Some may even say groovesome, but I wouldn't be so fly (even for a white guy).

I should say that the scratchplate is a mock-up, as the original is currently being made by Matt at the brilliant Scratch-It, but more on that later..

So from the top, it is:

1. A Pine Bodied La Cabronita

2. Maple/Rosewood Lefty neck

3. Mojo Pickups Overwound Mojotron, with Mojo Wiring Harness

4. A Mother of Jooky Dragon Skin finish that stretches top to tail (never tried painting a fretboard before but oddly it works and looks dee and vine. More vine, perhaps)

5. Hipshot Hardtail Bridge - zingy zalla-zalla zongy - putang

6. Gotoh tuners

And there we are. Of course the wonderful Hiscox are sending a case too, which will do the job big-time.

Right, game-on

To Bingley Hall and beyond. Probably

La la laaaaa
