Based on Fender’s earliest, a swamp ash body has been stained and waxed, back and sides, with the top getting one of our acid fried corroded bronze finishes to amazing effect, dripping down the sides and set-off beautifully with a Bakelite pickguard.
The neck is a good old school handful with a low buzz-free action and a beautiful smooth ride – the headstock corroded to match the top of the body.
A Fender bridge gives the traditional twang with an ashtray cover adding a bit of class.
Sounds come via a specially wound by Marc Ransley at Mojo Pickups Hot Broadcaster pickup, that along with the top notch Mojo Esquire loom drags every possible tone out of the guitar with ease.
Control plate, bridge and tuners have been aged, with Wilkinson Klusons giving a solid feeling tuning.
All in all, this is a stunning looking guitar, with bags of tone and a beautiful feel. What else could you possibly want?

To be clear, The Bergasol 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.

.............I've been looking for an Esquire for some time, but like the look of the stuff you do. Do you do commissions? I have an idea in mind!!!
Hi Paz
I don't really do commissions, but drop me an email at info@jooky.co.uk if you like
cheers
The Bergasol One.
Meant to be a christmas present. The wife's out, house is empty, so here goes...........does it play as well as it looks...............
.....yes! it does!
Full of life and a hard to define special kind of wah quality about open chords. Truly a special guitar.
Now lets put it back in the case and look forward to Christmas day.
Thank you.
That's really nice to hear - I hope you enjoy the guitar for years to come - and that your wife doesn't read this site ;o)
Just to let you know... The Bergasol One has now found it's way to Finland. I just bought it via EBay and received the guitar through mail today.
I really like the first feel! It feels really very solid and looks absolutely beautiful. For the price I paid (a lot less than the RSP) it really feels like a bargain!
I might well buy another Jooky someday after this experience!
