So there you are, Highway 51 a memory and you are trudging along in your rental, looking for a place to stay, a cold beer to get the dust from your mouth. You set off thinking you were Steinbeck looking for his California, miles down the road you realise that you’re just another tourist. You pull over the Buick into the car park of a roadhouse, be-spattered pickups line the path to the confederate flag clad door, tattered around the edges, time-stained like everything else. You open it into a wall of heat and sound and the smell of stale beer and road kill hits you, moments before the lively country rock coming from the stage dies as everybody in there turns to face you, in your Man United shirt, Hawaiian shorts and long, be-sandled socks.
The lone guitar player starts to strum her guitar, singing Hank Williams songs with a different beat. The crowd starts talking again and you give the singer, your saviours a wave as you walk to the bar.

The Daisy Jook One is a slice of Americana without the make believe of Disney, the commercialism of a Coke or a Sub. She plays country and blues, and indie and anything else you want to try, twin handwound mini-humbuckers give you it all, a semi acoustic, f-holed construction adds a traditional slant but the covering is pure Jooky, with cowgirls and rhinestones, and the chance to throw the dice and make your own luck.
To be clear, The Daisy Jook 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 Britney in shades. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.

It looks great. I would have absolutely rempeted during my "rockabilly" phase - It still is very tempting - new fence or new guitar? I have a feeling my wife will decide
For those wha haven't got a Jooky yet - go for it - I absolutely adore the Funky One
