The Beaton One is a mashed together collection of our recent influences, using 23 Karat Gold, Copper and a variety of aged and variegated leaf across both the body and the headstock. In truth it looks rather battered all over and maybe even a touch chewed here and there. All of the damage is vaguely protected by first coats of acrylic and then nitro lacquers.
The guitar is of course based on the ‘70s Fender Stratocaster, and the pickups are Fender’s own Custom ‘69s which are exceptionally Strat-like, you really can’t imagine. Tuners and Bridge are Wilkinson takes on traditional parts and work perfectly.
All in all, it is a unique looking and sounding guitar. Verily groovy indeed.
To reflect the sheer audacity of this guitar's finish, we're sorry to say that the current economic circumstances facing, well, everyone...means that it is a little more expensive than has been the case with other Jooky guitars. Although, the RSP of £1,217,898.43 does include a tweedy hardcase and free delivery.

To be clear, The Beaton 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 pleasant night checking your odor eaters are still charcoal impregnated. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.

what a bargain - I'd snap it up except I've just received 2 other Jookies
Aye, I know you'd have been in there like a shot, but what can you do? There's only so many karaoke machines a man can buy...
