Sold: The Raymond One

The Raymond One is a modern Telecaster with some serious intent.

From the top, it has a beautiful ash body that has been lovingly smothered with a beautiful pink paisley. This is topped off quite sweetly with a hand-chopped pickguard made from an old Jerry Reed record.

Sounds-wise, a single Mojo Pickups Wide Range Humbucker has that unique mixture of clanging cleans and gritty lows you’d hope for, but with a certain mellowness in the middle that genuinely sounds like nothing else. And a Wilkinson, Steel Blocked Strat trem, complete with push-in cranking handle, gives a lovely sustain and all those wobbly shimmers we love so.

To get the best out of it, Marc Ransley at Mojo has crafted a bespoke ‘Esquire’ wiring loom, tailored to this particular pickup, that gives three usable tones from the standard Tele control switch. The wiring is of course a classic in it’s own right, with CTS pots, PIO capacitors and Ye Olde vintage looking cloth covered wiring.

As twang is the thang, we’ve gone for a lovely maple/maple neck with Kluson-esque tuners, which has been waxed and feels great to play.

To be clear, The Raymond 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.
