Sold: The Gypsy One

The Gypsy One is the first ever Jooky to feature one of our ‘Vera’ veneers, in combination with a right royal rusting. The Rosewood veneer has been cracked, nibbled, attacked with a Tefal Steam Iron and generally battered, before the final indignity of some rusty iron has been used around the edges and back of the guitar.

This was our take on the famous George Harrison Rosewood Tele, and we assumed that it had been buried beneath a load of leaky iron piping for forty years. This may not be what really happened to George’s guitar, but how would we know?

Other than the finish, the body is alder with a rosewood veneer, the neck is maple/maple for all those classic twangy tones, the pickups are handwound in Spain by the quite brilliant Jess Loureiro based on the original Fender Nocaster/Broadcaster ones, and there we are.

*


To be clear, The Gypsy 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 Sgt Pepper’s day uniform. There will genuinely never be another guitar like this and past experience suggests that it won’t be around for long.

To treat yourself to this uniquely groovy and battered guitar for a mad £399 including a hard case delivered to your door, Click on the Big Yellow Button before somebody else does. And they will, oh yes they will...
