Mojo

[jim93]

They all look like guitar with no finish and one of them looks like someone stained the guitar blue. Only the second to last one looks cool but the back is badly beat up, dude should of played without the cowboy belt buckle

[antisymmetric]

what has more mojo: the 65 sg neck i ran over in my car or the filth that is my bathroom?

That qualifies as mojo if it happened "in the line of duty"- (assuming the dude who left it behind your car was a fellow musician, or the guitar was on it's way to a gig/ session). Anything else is just careless mistreatment. You'd need verification- witnesses, video footage, etc before the Mojo Tribunal would issue you with a certificate.

Oh man.. I would kill to build a JM with that body !!

[Stratelejazzuar]

i agree - that JM body is pretty cool. It has teh mojoz

[jim93]

This is only more confusing at getting an idea of mojo.

twas the case. on the way to a show and the man in question was a fellow musician. i don't think it qualifies for mojo... more dumb mofo than anything. the rest of the guitar is beat to hell, so yeah.

[Pacafeliz]

btw, who here has that wonderfully beat to shit old sunburst jazzmaster, which had E A D G B E scratched near the bridge, to know which string went where?
(true story - wonderful guitar!)

btw, remember i used to own this ('63 IIRC) castrat'master... is that mojo or just butchery?

This is a guitar that was built in 1982 and has been played, sometimes quite roughly, ever since then:


1983 '62RI Fender Stratocaster, January, 2010 by Maggie Osterberg, on Flickr

I haven't been overly precious with it- I've bounced it off my Deluxe Reverb II several score and they've both bounced, but I have taken care of it and loved it like a child. Never coddled, but always looked after, that's what I reckon makes for genuine mojo.

Mojo incarnate



She's been played & loved since her birth in '82, and she's got mojo pouring out of every pore.

[valley_parade]

The fender custom shop takes swabs from under the fingernails of the players they sponsor (it's where the mojo hides) to add to their guitars.

And to think I've been cleaning that stuff out from under my fingernails.

[jim93]

Ibanezs were made with an initial finish of special lacquer to prevent mojo seeping in.

ohhh yeah.....^^ that's good mojo there.

for sale?

i think mojo is relative. case in point: my 62 jag looks like a beaut on the front, but the back is all buckle rashed up. obviously, it's been played a lot, but not thrashed too badly. if i only ever saw the back, i'd think the whole guitar must look like someone just didn't care. but since there's a flip side, i call the flip side to the peachy front... mojo!
